It is now the end of March and we are past the halfway mark of the Spring Semester. Three candidates were interviewed for the open position of University Librarian. Two of them are internal while the other is from another academic library. I am assuming that there will be another interview with the President of the university before an appointment is made. This has created some anxiety among the staff as we don’t know who will be our boss.
We also have a new reference librarian on our staff. He has many years of experience working for Merck, but none in an academic library. I realize that it takes time for any new employee to get adjusted to a new job.
