I've been silent on this blog for quite some time. Can't be helped I suppose. I got my promotion to full-time status at the college I work at. I am now that college's first ever floater for thier library system. I'm not really sure why I haven't mentioned the college's name yet. For the locals, its a pretty easy guess where I work :)
At any rate, the new position has kept me pretty busy. As I'm the lucky first floater, no one, including me, is really sure exactly what my job entails other than filling in for people around the library and media departments and generally being a jack-of-all-trades and a master-of-none. Perhaps because of this, the position has another aspect as a director of special projects around the library.
The current special project that I'm working on is integrating the library's page on Blackboard (this university's D2L) into Blackboard in some kind of useful, meaningful resource for students. The page has to have a total overhaul because, honestly, nothing has been done to it since its creation. Yowzah.
Not to preach, but pay attention KM/LIS 5433 students! One day you might find yourself thrown into a situation where you find yourself scrambling to use the resources taught in that class! And, with as many people in the program working in the library field in general, I'd bet cash money that some already have.
Blackboard only supports HTML edits in its current form. It can do others, but JAVA is real hit and miss. That linked HTML tutorial from the syllabus, www.yourhtmlsource.com, is a real life-saver.
