I still remember the night I arrived here without my luggage. I lost my luggage at the airport which was really terrible. But thanks for that accident, I could feel so warm here because everyone here cared about me so much and everyone was willing to borrow their things for me. I could feel everyone was there for me. That was my first impression here and I will never forget.
Thanks for everyone, I could adapt to being here very soon and I could learn a lot here. First thing I can do at my work is buying some furitures or facilities which would be the easiest.
First thing I can do is buying some furnitures or facilities which would be the easiest. First of all I could see a lot of white boards everywhere and I could see how helpful It would be to do collaborative and idea thinking. Also there were so many chargers and Plug in. I think the plug-in from the ceiling is a genius because no one would tripped over the usb line.
And the Lase Cutter, of course, we all really enjoyed it, I also remember noise cancelling machine at i-school. And the other things like vending machine, free mask, baskets, wipes are small but I think there are all really thoughtful for the users.
Second thing is my library is really out of stacks right now. We are doing digitalizing work but I don’t it is enough, so I am gonna suggest about joining Hathitrust. It has really good mission and it seems like growing up very fast and it is obvious that it would help us a lot. Also, about the lack of space, the repository crane can be the answer but I don’t think we have enough money for that. But my library will think it’s really interesting, I can’t wait to share the Chicago library and Oak Street library facilities.
Third thing is about the discovery solution. Because my library is using same discovery system which is Primo, it was so interesting to learn about the easy searching system. Now that I got the bento box discovery Model, I can suggest to use some Open APIs to make our searching system be better.
These are only some parts of what I learned. But the most important thing is the fact that I could be a better researcher than before. I could realized that there are so many things I can try to make my library better. And to do this I should sometimes move one step back and look around how other libraries do and read a lot about libraries like OCLC reports, youtube or articles.
I really appreciate that Mortenson gave me such a nice turning point to my librarian career. Besides what I mentioned, I was really impressed how librarians here have so much pride in themshelves. They are all professional and seems to be very happy for the fact that they are librarians. And it made me want to be a better librarian and also a better person. I was so honored to have experienced those amazing things with you all. I was really happy that I am one of this amazing crews. Thank you very much.
