The Now: May 17, 2023

A small to-do list item that I tackled today was to update the white board in my office. Each semester, I write out my top three priorities, a few extra projects, and a list of major events like conferences and vacations. Basically, from now until June 9, I'm only working on conference related stuff. So many presentations! After June 9, I can tackle all the other things on my list.

Here's what I'm working on:

1. Research Assignment Design: Now that we're done coding (huzzah!), we've entered the analysis phase. We've decided to crosswalk some of our codes to the ACRL Framework for Information Literacy in Higher Education. That is turning out to be harder than we thought. The Framework is theoretical and many of our codes are practical. That difficulty spurred an idea for a paper that we plopped into our research journal to tackle later.
2. Presentations: I will be presenting three conference sessions and a webinar in the next three weeks. I'm going wild making outlines, building slides, and writing out my notes. I am so very grateful for SlidesGo for making slide design a little easier. 
3. New Phone: My old phone was finally problematic enough that I replaced it. I spent more time than I thought I would need setting up my new phone. Now I need to get my old phone ready to trade in.
