Libguides and reference desk

So yesterday I started working on editing the Libguides pages that were made by a previous intern. The plan is to convert the entire Web site over to Libguides. But, the pages that were made earlier do not have the feature to monitor the statistics of each link. So, they have to be redone. This also allows me to double check the links to make sure that they are still operational and actually useful. It is a slow process.

I spent an hour at the reference desk, and it was a busy one. There were a couple of moments when nothing was going on. But when one question was asked, it was quickly followed by another. There were also questions popping on the virtual reference desk at the same time. The most frustrating thing was that the eBook server stopped working. But only for the campus computers. If you used the remote access (off-campus computer or an iPad/tablet), you were fine.
