So, as of today I'm the digital humanities coordinator at my school at least until we hire a new librarian in December-ish. GAH.

I'm sure you'll do great, but it sounds like that new hire can't come soon enough. - Katy_S - -

Good luck and good wishes! - Galadriel - -

Between the search committee stuff and putting together a full-day workshop on our rubric for Oregon folks (yay Anne-Marie Deitering!), things have been on the hectic side for me. Next up: the start of Fall Term in a few weeks. I had kind of thought this would be a less full summer...

The good news is that on the search committee we brought 3 candidates in who were all fantastic. I don't think I've ever honestly thought we could hire all three in a pool before. - lris - [ 2 ] -

I've mended holes in clothes, repaired shoes, made deodorant, and am baking bread with home-ground flour. I feel very Little House On The Prairie today.

Spent some quality time today deactivating accounts for the librarian whose last day was yesterday. It's an odd feeling going through and cleaning up and shutting down the equivalent of someone's digital office.

Unsolicited tip for future tree plantings: My parents have tall-ish stakes with flags on them that they "plant" where they think they might want new trees. They leave them in for about a week to see if they like seeing something in that spot over time. They rarely end up replanting trees. - Katy_S - [ 5 ] -

Facing down a summer that's too full of disruption and major things, my co-worker and I made the sad but wise decision to table writing an article together. Sigh.

Funny story. The very first online chat I did was assisting someone with Endnote. Wasn't teaching from scratch as the person attended in class but didn't get it. - Aaron Tay - [ 1 ] -

Sitting in on an all-workshop for undergraduate student research assistants who will be working on humanities projects over the summer. The first of its kind. So exciting!

So far they've touched on IRB, and thinking about personal research styles. Now Kristin is teaching data management practices. - lris - -

Finished up with work time for faculty/student collaborators. It was a good day. (And it's hosted by the library and the Humanities Center on campus, not just the library.) :) - lris - [ 2 ] -

Puttered in my yard for much of the day. Didn't do much that anyone but me would notice, but it was satisfying nevertheless. Tiring too.
