T this sounds strategic.”. A colleague commenting on my Charcoal Project. This may be the real life version of an academic concept I learned in a much more clinical setting: grey literature, or as one library.

Embedded Librarian: Web Reference Desk

http://embeddedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/06/web-reference-desk.html

Working in the white spaces of the organizational chart." (Susan Fifer Canby). June 8, 2011. Where I work, we focus on bus drivers, bus riders, vehicles, and policy issues related to all of the above. I have struggled to find a place for myself in the conference in general, but specifically to find a contribution to our trade show floor, which is as big and busy as anything you'd find at ALA or SLA. As you can see in this picture, there are buses- lots of them! Posted by Eileen Can. I am an information s...

http://embeddedlibrarian.blogspot.com/2011/03/basic-instincts.html

Working in the white spaces of the organizational chart." (Susan Fifer Canby). March 16, 2011. It's possible that I'm a bit too enamored of my current skill level on Metro, and that my extreme consciousness of it is holding me at Stage 3. Perhaps I will advance to Stage 4 soon and stop talking about it. What about my growth as an embedded librarian? By the way, Peace Corps, which celebrates its 50th birthday this month, needs librarians. Check out this cool assignment. Posted by Eileen Can. Thinking abou...
