En alldeles vanlig dag på ASA-biblioteket

Library Day in the Life -veckan fortsätter. Likis bibliotek är speciellt tacksam över detta belysande inlägg om biblioteksverksamhet i Svenskfinland:

En alldeles vanlig typisk syn på ASA-biblioteket den första varje månad:

Enhetschefen kryper ner på marknivå för att läsa av antalet besökare föregående månad. Varje månad förundrar hon sig över portingenjörerna på 3M som förutsätter att man är tillräckligt vig för denna gymnastiska övning och att inte avläsningsrutan kan vara högre upp! – Till 3M:s försvar kan man säga att man så småningom skall kunna utföra denna avläsning på webben.

Resultatet efter subtraktion, addition och division blev: 5,100 besök i januari på enhetsbiblioteket – en del av det finlandssvenska nationalbiblioteket Åbo Akademis bibliotek https://www.abo.fi/student/bibliotek .

Löykkiön kirjaston tilastollinen vuosi 2011

Tässä yllättäviäkin tilastoja vuodelta 2011:

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 8 700 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 3 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Library Day in the Life 4

32 working days. That’s how many days I’ll be working at the National Library before going freelance and starting my annual leave on March the 31st. Panic! Confusion! Exhilaration! I’ve got a lot to do before I can go and leave my teammates!

Had a couple of good discussions today with team members. A good boss should, in my opinion, be one who inspires, supports, listens and coaches their team. That’s how I’d like to be as a boss, that’s what I’ve been aiming at… It is not an easy task but it’s still one I’m going to miss!

Again, sent out emails, answered some questions from librarians and our own staff, posed some questions myself, adjusted timetables, the usual.

In the afternoon, I met with a good friend and colleague. We talked shop: future seminars, joint projects, recent news from the branch. We touched upon the importance of making use of statistics, not just gathering figures in tables without thinking of a use and an interpretation. Learning librarians to ask the right questions and finding the evidence to back up their assumptions and arguments would be worth a few workshops and discussions.

Since coming home I’ve been fighting to get the wlan to work. For some curious reason there is no connection even if the signal is loud and clear and everything should be in order. Oh well, I’m using the USB modem instead. And tomorrow is another day…
