So, things have been happening very quickly. After a job interview down in Kitchener (and getting lost on the drive down) an opening came in my own library! The position is part-time, but it's in the children's department, which is something I had in the back of my mind as something I'd like to do. Well, I applied and got the job, so now I'm writing this as a tech who is doing what she studied! Cataloguing, reference, children's programs! There's nothing I won't do now.
I'm excited to cut my teeth on some cataloguing. After learning about it for three years, I just know that it's the sort of thing I'll love doing. I'll abuse the 505 fields for those non-fic books. I've learned from giving reference services that having those fields in there and populated can help a lot with bringing up hits for search terms. It just makes the whole collection that much more accessible! Heeee, I can't wait!
