Part of today was spent sitting in of the librarians' meeting. Most of that was about how to try and plan for this summer when there are no classes being held on the main campus. All of the classes are going to held on the satellite campuses to increase their FTES numbers. The problem is that the main library will still be open, because it has to be so everyone can have access to the materials, while more hours will be needed at the satellite libraries.
Working at the reference desk the rest of the day went well. I answered two QuestionPoint questions. One was an actual question about getting access to the ArtStor database, but that student left without saying that did get in. The second was a student goofing around with the widget. The fun thing was a walk-up student that wanted books on Japanese weapons. The library did not have any books, but he then went with his plan B which was Japanese art and theatre. I was very good and refrained from talking at him for several hours. I did give him several good recommendations for books and authors. It was just nice to have someone seeking out information on a subject that you study for fun.
