I think of the adage, "Time flies when you're having fun" to describe this summer term. I've been in such a flurry of activity with my classes that I haven't found the chance to sit down and do an update yet.
This summer term, I'm getting beyond the required core classes and more in-depth with library studies. The three classes I have are Library User Instruction, Collection Management, and Government Information Resources. The second two are with the same professor, one face-to-face, and the other one mostly online, though we did meet in-person once. My two professors are both adjunct, and they have jobs elsewhere, and they bring with them the sense of what it's like being out in the field doing this work. And I enjoy hearing their perspectives and working with them.
We've had the opportunity for some great discussions in class--especially the first class sessions back in May--and the assignments involve very practical work, like instructional presentations and building a library collection. I've also had fun surfing around government websites looking for information like 1790 census information and the President's Daily Schedule.
Upon the conclusion of the term, I'll give a more detailed update, with more about all the fun I've been having.
