I decided on the juggling picture for this month’s post. I thought it was appropriate for all that is happening. With my full time job, two graduate classes, two children and their schedules, it is definitely a juggling act at my house. Also, this month I was down for the count with the flu. Glad that is over!
I did survive the LOC authorities and do understand subject headings. The scheduled chat time was very beneficial in helping me master that module. Now that I am working on the ISBD and AACR2, I find myself in a bit of confusion yet again. I am getting used to this fog, though.
Actually, I am enjoying this work. I like to figure out the punctuation and the patterns for this bibliography work. I referenced subject headings on last month’s blog to a foreign language, but now I do not feel that way. This is the foreign language, for sure. All of the symbols to represent subfields are taking time to get acclimated.
It is surprising that MTSU’s spring break is just a few weeks away. It doesn’t seem possible. Hopefully, I can use that time to get ahead. With my school’s spring break at the end of the month, it should be easy to get ahead, but I am not counting on it.
