Librarian for Real . . . Word Up.

So the beginning of this year was hectic. Like many others because of the economic spectre haunting all of the country, the thought of not being able to find a job was scary. I know this because everyone in the New York metro area is feeling the crunch. My buddy Josh Hadro summed it up best when he commented in his gmail signature: "Dear Employers: Stop laying-off my friends." Times are grim and the worse hasn't even hit yet. Get your seat belts on.

That said, I was fortunate to be offered a J-O-B, job at Berkeley College in New Jersey. It's a great opportunity to work with a diverse population of students from many different backgrounds. I even get to travel between campuses in the Garden State. Beside reference service I will be teaching information literacy classes. I am very excited and look forward to learning a lot from the librarians as well as the campus community.

xo,
RE.
