This is my last evening on the reference desk for the semester. I will return to work some weekends this summer. Today is also the last day of classes. There are not many people in the reference department right now, could be a slow night.
1. A student was working on a annotated bibliography on music and memory/the mind. He needed 10 additional sources. I was able to find some really good books and articles for him.
2. A patron needed to know where the restroom was.
3. We have Yogurt Cream Hershey Kisses sitting on the desk and a student walked by and asked if she could have one. :)
4. A student wanted to know if getting an "I" in a class would effect his GPA.
5. A student needed a paper clip.
6. (Chat) A student wanted to know if they could still look at a reserve book if they didn't have their ID. I told them they needed to call the circulation desk, because I wasn't sure what their policy was on that.
7. A student wanted to leave his books on the reference desk while he went to smoke.
8. A student needed criticisms on the book The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin by Vladimir Voinovich.
9. A patron needed a guest log in for a computer.
10. A student wanted a Hershey Kiss. :)
11. A student needed books on dream symbolism.
12. (Chat) A student wanted to know when the library was offering free coffee. They do during exam week every semester. This semester it is on Wednesday, May 6 and Thursday May 7 starting at 9:30 p.m. The student then wanted to have an emoticon war, and accused me of flirting. Oh, well Irma can't even be friendly with having accusations thrown at her.
13. A student had a suggestion. He suggested that we put Purell dispensers in the reference department to cut down on germs from the computers. Actual, not a bad idea.
14. A student needed to borrow one of the golf pencils.
15. A student needed books on dream symbolism for a paper he was writing.
16. A student needed books and articles on drugs and African-American women.
17. The student from #11 was looking for the book The Master & Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov.
18. (Chat) A student had a question about how to access an e-book.
There were lots of questions tonight, but most of them were short and very easy. I only got 3 questions the first hour I was here. It began to pick up some after that.
I shall return this summer. :)
