library day in the life: Thursday
AM
- Endeca Development Team meeting. Discuss testing results and issues that need resolving before going live with upgrade to next version (which I’m calling 1.5, since 2.0 is already under development and will be radically different). Decide to move upgrade to next week.
- Quick coffee with few colleagues.
- Head into meeting room for the Handheld Librarian web conference. Work on webpage updates during opening keynote. And back-channel conversations.
PM
- Faculty association meeting.
- More hhlib. Work on UI changes to article database search while listening to afternoon sessions. Realize it’s near impossible for me to just concentrate on one thing.
- Create a new section and two new pages on our iTunes U instance. Customize, tweak, add content.
- Brainstorm ideas for redesigned library login screen(s). Search the webs for resources on the topic and come up mostly empty. Curious. More people need to be writing about login screen interaction and usability elements, please.
Later PM
- Drink a few beers. Yes, this is a distinctly library-ish activity.
