The dog days of August are the slowest in academic
libraries. Summer session is over while
the pre-college programs are ending today.
I am still working on weeding the collection. It was so sad to see so many old books in
astronomy, physics, and chemistry. In
recent years there was so little money to purchase new books. Today I started
looking at the medical related books in the “R” section of the stacks. I was glad to see that the majority of the
books were newer and still relevant since the NJIT programs in the life
sciences are relatively new.
I spent some time this summer tweaking some of my
Powerpoints for my information literacy classes in the future. I have a chemical engineering class scheduled
on the first day of classes.
Time passes very quickly.
Before you know it all the students will return and we will be busier in
the library.
