We've been trying to figure out how to manage them without having staff play "Study Room police." Last week on the reference desk I had a hard time keeping track of everyone and the time they all came in, wanting to use the rooms. Since we don't allow reservations and my boss isn't too keen on the idea of a sign-in sheet at the reference or circ...http://community.livejournal.com/libraries/859181.html ALA Annual Event Announcement- June 9, 2008 YALSA Reader's Advisory Interest GroupSunday, June 29th 4-5:30Disney's Paradise Pier Room: San DiegoThe Reader's Advisory Interest Group is for everyone interested in connecting teens with books.

There's a center for the arts in the area that wants to become a museum; one of their requirements to be certified is to have their objects cataloged. Of course, they also have a small library (less than 1000 books, magazines, and videos) that they also want to have cataloged. I offered to do the cataloging and acquisitions paperwork for their existing objects and books as part of setting up the..http://community.livejournal.com/libraries/857947.html recruitment agencies- June 5, 2008 A quick question for the UKLondon-based... What recruitment agencies have you got library work through recently, and what sort of jobs I'm registered with the usual suspects for temp work - TFPL, Sue Hill, Intelligent Resources, Infomatch - but wondered if there were any other agencies worth trying. The job market is pretty dead at the moment so I'm not getting anything much at all from these sources, and am therefore looking to cast my net a little wider! I'm based in London, have umpteen...http://community.livejournal.com/libraries/857617.html (Untitled)- June 5, 2008 Hi all!I'm an MLS student at Emporia, one year away from graduating.
