The Now: May 18, 2022

I found that these posts are getting to be a bit of a chore to write. I will still post weekly about what I'm working on, but the content will be a touch different. Instead of individual activities, I will discuss just the major projects and how they are going. We'll see how this goes for a bit.

WORK
  • Research Assignment Design: I'm working on my first pass of transcript coding. It is tedious and frustrating. I started to keep a research journal to help me keep track of my work and to let me brain dump ideas. I've decided to do a first pass of coding that just grabs whatever is interesting. The more I do, the easier it gets. I will then review my codebook to clean it up and better categorize my codes. Then I will do individual passes of each transcript focusing on just one umbrella code at a time. It's going to be a long summer.
  • Presentations: This has been a banner year for me presenting at conferences and webinars. Next week, I give two sessions at our consortial conference. Those slide decks and notes are done. In June, I am converting my internal communications presentation from Computers in Libraries for an audience here on campus. In August, I'll give a webinar on photography skills for libraries. And I just found out that my proposal to speak at Internet Librarian in October about remote customer service was accepted. 
  • Faculty Research Index: I have posted the first round of submissions. I am working on marketing to both collect more submissions and promote the Index. 

PERSONAL
  • Estate Planning: I need to convert one last personal account to the Trust. I now have the information to do that, I just need to get on it. I also am in the planning stages of creating a guardian document for our kiddo. I've researched what should go in it and have listed an outline of what we want to include.
  • Paid Newsletter: I spent a lot of time strategic planning. I now have a long to do list and idea bank for content. Last week, I also finished setting up the financial side of things. Now I will do some graphic design and the repeat content for the headers and footers in Substack.
