So I start with a work item...

Just as I said I wouldn't do, this first post is about a work item. I'll transfer it to the work blog once I have it up and running. Anyhoo....

A professor comes into my office today asking to find an article from Harper's in 2000. No problem, I think, ProQuest should have it. But as I'm thinking that, he tells me ProQuest said it should have full text, but alas it didn't. I checked the catalog record and sure enough we should have it. I browse for the issue, find it and see that it's full text...except for the article he wants (ok, and a few others). Luckily, this wasn't a problem as we have a large print backfile of Harper's. Technology is great when it works, but when it doesn't....

Who Am I and Why am I Here?

This was supposed to be my blog for work, but my University was nice enough to allocate space on their server, so I'll have my work blog there. This will be my "fun" blog for personal stuff. Of course that all depends on if I can think of anything interesting to write about!
