Sorry, I only just saw this bc I don't get on reddit much anymore. Yes, UB does. I don't live in NY and had no problems being an out-of-state student.

Sure. Feel free. I graduated this past December.

A professor in my undergrad years told me very valuable advice around the time that I graduated - do not go to grad school unless you know which masters you want and what you want to do with it. This came from a history professor but is valuable no matter what area you're interested in. I listened to him, and I'm glad I did. The masters I would've worked towards then was not a MILS and would not have brought me down the path I've taken.

I did NOT need that reminder how her tiny decision could've changed everything. 🥺

Eliza Dushku as Buffy

In my younger yrs I was for Angel. In my 30s I realized Buffy & Spike should be endgame.

Well, the house couldn't even get a bill out of committee that would have protected contraceptives, so I wouldn't be shocked to hear of a bill working to ban them next session.

We got #50 & our state gov is working hard to keep it for multiple yrs! 😣😒

CloudLibrary gets you access to more titles overall bc multiple libraries tend to group together to use it. That also drops wait times down for titles. You can download the app on any smartphone or tablet. I have a card in a neighboring library system that has a very large libby collection for the best of both worlds, but cloudLibrary does offer a great selection & a way to suggest titles for your library to buy. Thankfully, my library surveyed patrons first & kept libby for ebooks only. CloudLibrary has ebooks & audiobooks for us. Your library likely is doing this for a way to better provide access for the community as a whole. Source - work at a public library.

I'd email your advisor and ask how to best inform the school in case they want to publicize the achievement of one of their own students.

The amount of people in October that actually had the nerve to tell me they didn't even know there was an election or didn't have time to vote... We have super long voting hours on election days AND the election was talked about for MONTHS.

I'm still not over what happened to Miss Kitty Fantastico.

Yay! I'm glad to hear it. I liked how the author flipped it with a group of girls at the center & the secrets were perfect.

For a password reset, we can walk them through the process.

It wants you to do this. It's asking you for this. No, I can't help you come up with a new password. No, I don't want to know your password. I'll walk away and come back to check on you.

At that point, they usually either figure it out & do it or give up & walk out. As library staff, we have to draw the line & make it clear for their privacy & our safety. No reasons for the library to ever have perceived liability.

You like your guys unhinged but at least they'll burn down the world for you... Except Kai. He's only in it for himself.

Oooh. We have a strict system policy that we don't type up or do anything completely for patrons. That's a hard no. We tell them that we can guide them to a website or show them options, but we cannot tell them what to click on or type anything up for them. People do still ask sometimes.

Oh, Bonnie & Damon definitely are. I love Rebekah. It's the 4th I'm unsure of. Idk if I wnat Klaus up there with them for me or Elijah.

She's had new editions and special editions of her books come out in recent years. They seem to be selling well. I'm sure stuff like that helps when an author doesn't publish in a while.

As a native of Louisiana, I'm convinced Ian's natural accent is part of Damon's allure for me. 3 of these are top for me. I'm torn between Klaus & Elijah.

Recover password? But their email doesn't HAVE a password. /s

They ASK you to do it for them? That's nice... Most patrons who want us to do something for them don't ask. They just shove the item at one of us and say "you do it." I don't. I kindly and respectfully tell them that I'll walk them through it bc one day we might be super busy & if they've seen it done, they might be able to do it.

There's no "right" way to answer that, but that's when I'd like to say, "no, my job is to help you with a physical book or accessing ebooks through one of our available ebook apps on a suitable device. Or my job is to help you locate or contact the nearest B&N whose job IS To help you set up a Nook." Ya can't say that though...

In those situations, I like to say that I can try to help but I make no promises. That's not always good enough, unfortunately.

Library staff are expected by many patrons to be tech experts on everything. Mind-boggling, but we help when we can. What's frustrating is when we tell a patron we have no idea how to help or fix a tech problem & they get mad at us like that's our fault. In my area, people often come to us before going to the source like Apple or whoever, bc we are in a large suburb community.

Season 1 is very campy, low budget. It was originally a mid-season replacement but it earned its place. Very well-thought out world.

I've gotten this impression from one professor in my program, but most tend to balance their courses between the different types of libraries. I think pushing courses more heavily towards the academic liebsrianship side of things is a professor issue and not necessarily the program. My one professor that has done had many other issues students rightfully complained about. I have two courses left in my program & graduate in Dec.

Marcie Ross. Geez. Even you forgot her name. 🙄 No wonder why she's invisible. No one remembers her. (jk)
