The following post is written as part of round 5 of the Library Day in the Life project.
Morning soundtrack: A selection of TED Talks including Hillel Cooperman’s Legos for grownups (the video is at the end of this post)
Today I spent a lot of time writing and responding to emails and consequently I didn’t get round to my donations again. Most of the emails were about setting up or feeding back from meetings. Added into the mix was finalising my induction timetable with the programme managers. I think I’ve just about managed to fit everyone into the slots they wanted, get the rooms booked and still build in a lunch break for myself. On top of this there were the usual daily enquiries about access to electronic resources and help with finding information on specific companies and/or industries.
I had two Datastream enquiries today. One was an ongoing enquiry for a student who is replicating a study done by a previous student at the business school. She is trying to build up the exact dataset that they used – after some tweaking I think we’re finally done now. The other was a basic introduction; the student got the hang of things quickly and was off making her own requests in no time.
One thing that I will be carrying over to tomorrow is the comparison of Mintel’s Global Market Navigator with Euromonitor’s Global Market Information Database.
Evening soundtrack: A Genius Playlist – Singer/Songwriter Mix including Joni Mitchell, Regina Spektor and Damien Rice.
