The Dodo Librarian

Here for library Twitter. Original cataloging librarian = Dodo to TPTB.
Unfortunately, all thoughts are my own.

@NoetheMatt No.
I was a fully qualified PCC cataloger before obtaining my MLS and frankly I learned nothing of value, I just got paid more. Arguing it teaches the ethics of librarianship "unknown" to non-MLS library staff is offensive and dismissive of their education/ethical understanding.

@librarian_elle Your guess is as good as anyone's - we only ever managed to implement one small part of it

Goodbye FOLIO, hello Alma!

@Lavenderbrarian The other side of this in the "can't win" game is that you stay at a job for a longer amount of time and then decide you want to try something new and again, you get judged. Why do you "suddenly" want to move?

We wish all attendees at #nasig2023 a safe trip back home! If you’ve followed along here and were unable to join us this time, we hope you’ll consider joining us for #nasig2024 in Spokane, WA from 2-6 June. Also keep an eye out for our virtual conference this Fall!

[The Dodo Librarian @LibrarianDodo]

Home from #nasig2023...well, in my favourite Mexican restaurant eating enchiladas and drinking blood orange margaritas. Well, home!

[The Dodo Librarian @LibrarianDodo]

Hope everyone has a safe trip home. I've received notice of gate changes four times in the last five minutes - luckily the last change reverted to the first gate... Obviously warming me up for the collections relocation meeting back at my library.

Can't believe it's already over. I learned useful things, reconnected with some brilliantly troublesome librarians I haven't seen since pre-Covid and met some new ones! Thanks, #nasig2023

@Lavenderbrarian I'll have to put it on the schedule! Next January is looking good!

[The Dodo Librarian @LibrarianDodo]

What do you do when you're too busy to write documentation?

It's funny how you have to fly halfway across the country to speak to people from the university 'next door '

"Monograph cataloging is like performing an autopsy - dissection and analysis.

Serials cataloging is studying a living organism." - Steve Shadle

@Lavenderbrarian May the registration gods bless you!

[The Dodo Librarian @LibrarianDodo]

I've arrived stupidly early for the conference due to only wanting to take a direct flight. It's such a short flight. Why would I want to transfer?

Already in my room though. Hotel membership has its privileges...

[The Dodo Librarian @LibrarianDodo]

11:00am me is already regretting 5:00am me's decision to take that direct flight.

Have been out to fetch coffee...

I like to ask the important conference questions...
