Doing a Masters, eh?

OK, given my lack of a degree of any sort, I'd better try and keep up by doing a Johnston!

Seriously, though, I wish you good luck, Noreen, and hope that it won't keep your dulcet tones away from the Snug.

PS A Master's in what?

If my memory of a previous thread is correct Noreen is studying Librarianship, one of the highest pursuits of the human mind. Not that I'm biased or anything.

Well done Noreen! As well as Johny Adams you will find Martin Whittel (Head of reprograhics) is a folkie - amongst may others I guess - and a pretty damn good Concertina player (English tho', not Anglo). I work just down the road, Near Salford Quays - We musr 'do lunch' at the Crescent one day. :-)

Have your sense of smell removed now.... musty old books and the usual 'clientele' have an aroma all their own, especially when the radiators are on full blast in June (but never in January.....)

Good luck with it dear. Libraries are worth it.

Congratulations, Noreen! Now can you do something about bringing back the Card Catalogue? The computers in our libraries never work and I loved the musty smell of the cards.

I don't think it's Librarianship any more, more like Informatics or Information Sciences or some such rot. Check here for an interesting intersection of libraries and music, and here is your new theme song, of course.

There will be a short quiz next week.

Have fun, Noreen!

Aloha,
Mark

I don't care if she has a hooley, a dooley, or a tooley pooley (although that might be fun).......it's the costuming that's important here man!

I'm thinking the plaid ought to be the blue green if we go that route.

No, Librarians do it in silence...... not half as much fun.... mind you... I know a librarian who did it over his desk in the reference section one evening......

Filing clerks do it in the range..... Researchers do it in the archives..... Computer operators do it with hardware, Programmers do it with software.

As being a Librarian is part filing clerk, part computer operator and part researcher, we could be in for an interesting time!

I worked in a library for 8 years, all we ever got was sore feet and bad backs. Oh and a knife pulled on us in the Reference Library.

As I now work for the Inland Revenue, I get to do it with the Queen's authority!!

aah Salford Uni happy days (they werren't actually which is why I left) -I remember many many years ago having a barbeque 17 floors up in a Salford Tower block - we transported our equipment in a Tesco's trolley which we acquired and them discovered the lifts weren't working. When we finally started the barbeque it burned through the asphelt and we nearly got evicted -but hey we were young.....

Well, Noreen back to being a student eh???? If you need some practice at cataloguing I have a book/video/CD/tape collection that needs databasing!! Seriously, I wish you all the best, as someone said further up, Luck has nothing to do with it, you will do it on ability, hard work, and skill all of which you have in plenty.. May the Lady smile on your Journey..

What a surprise to come back to 47 posts on this thread! Thought that it must have drifted onto a more interesting topic... well, Spaw and Big Mick did try... *grin*

I'm afraid you've been misled a little, I'm actually studying at Manchester Metropolitan University, not Salford, though Salford is where I was teaching, and it's nice to hear the contributions about it.

The course at MMU is towards an MA in Information and Library Management, one year, full time and I start tomorrow (well today really.. in 9 hours time.. must get to bed.)

I am really touched by all the interest and good wishes here, and I'll let you know how it goes!
