Schoolwork, today. Cataloging is hard; I hadn't realized that. We had a series of exercises to do--given a title page and title page verso, we were to fill out a (rudimentary) MARC record. I did my best on each exercise, flipping to the answers and discovering that I was making a whole bunch of mistakes. Lather, rinse, repeat. Judging by the message boards, other people were apparently having the same troubles. It's supposed to be this hard. Still, getting around the version of AACR2R on Cataloger's Desktop is clunky and slow; the paper version is the same way. Why can't I just grab a damned PDF, or a one-big-file HTML copy?
Carin worked a full shift today, and I was going to stay in and do schoolwork... but the band was around, and Jeff asked me to shoot some pictures of them. I brought lenses but no camera, electing to use some of his gear. We went out to the double-wide that Jake is living in (surprisingly spacious on the inside!), which was surrounded by some nice woods. I took some shots of the band, but not nearly enough of them; I wanted to have enough so that instead of picking the least bad shot, I would have one jump out at me as being unambiguously good.
After Jeff brought me back, I found out that I have to write a two-page paper on a one-paragraph topic. ("Describe the advantages and disadvantages of a distributed versus a concentrated organization of systems analysis personnel.") And I think I'm getting what Carin had. Darn.
No comments today. I was being creative. |
