so-soInformation was fine if a bit boring. Focus was a bit too much on corporate and government records, which is less applicable to me. A new edition just came out that is likely to be more updated, but I was already almost finished with this.
Not much going on except finals this weekend. I finished my exam this morning. I‘m slogging through my project the next two days. This is one of those classes where I‘ll be glad with an A- (which in my program is 96%).

Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.
If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.
So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading in Bonus prompts #13-23. ⬇️

Cozy Sunday getting some work done. Corgi is supervising. Coffee needs a refill. Dreaming about what it would be like to work for the Library of Congress as all this tedium in metadata and subject analysis is proving to be quite enjoyable for me.

Let another semester of librarian school begin! After this semester, I'll have taken enough credits to officially gain certification as a school media specialist. ?? I can't believe it! The funny thing is, I'm not sure that I'll want to leave the classroom for a few more years, but it'll be there when I'm ready. ??
Approximately two and a half weeks left of grad school. Fueling up while reading about disseminating research.
“The MAS [Master of Archival Studies at the University of British Columbia] program is designed to nurture a distinctive disciplinary and professional identity while fostering alliances with other disciplines, partnerships with other departments and faculties at home and in other universities worldwide, and collaboration with other professions. The prestige it has acquired over the years has proven the validity of such an approach.”
