First day back on duty; and as always it was spent in an all day library meeting. Theme for the year is connecting with students and being extra careful to ensure that the libraries feel friendly and welcoming.

Meeting is held in a high school library. Above every computer is a large sign stating :
"NO E-MAIL"
"NO MUSIC"
"NO VIDEO"

the irony of the situation was not lost on many...hence the question towards the end of the day to which there was not a definitive answer because there are too many factors...must be decided on campus by campus case basis I guess, because decisions are made (or handed down) in different ways...
and remember inherited problems sometimes are slow to change due to these same issues! but I think I feel a fresh new breeze blowing........
