The Librarian and I: A conversation.
The following was a conversation held over MSN between myself and a Carleton University librarian, through their ingenious AsktheLibrary MSN feature.
AsktheLibrary says:
hi
AsktheLibrary says:
it means that the book has been rec'd but has not been catalogued into the collection
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
hi! thank you, i did put a hold on it more than a week ago
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
i wsa told that would put it into circulation
AsktheLibrary says:
you can ask at the reference desk and have them rush catalogue it
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
i didn't know there was rush cataloging
AsktheLibrary says:
...they will contact technical services and have it rushed catalogued
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
could i tell you the name of the book?
AsktheLibrary says:
yes, you just have to ask
AsktheLibrary says:
no sorry, I'm sitting in a meeting right at the moment and not in my office
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
MSN in a meeting!? tsk tsk
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
haha
AsktheLibrary says:
i'm multi-tasking
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
My hat is off to you, kind librarian.
I shall call technical services and have my request rushed through.
AsktheLibrary says:
...the reference desk
AsktheLibrary says:
you're vey welcome
AsktheLibrary says:
"very"
iain is a gun barrel diplomat says:
Ah. Thank you. See if you can multi-task outside for the day's remainder.
Good day!
AsktheLibrary says:
thanks, have a good day

Librarians are the hottest people I know, and I am not remotely biased. They effectively multi-task being hot and being librarians every day. Respect.
- sarah... who is not a librarian. Not exactly.
hahaha that's great iain. i used that once and they couldn't answer me! imagine that! glad you got some help.
haha.
I once saw a really hot librarian, in knee-high boots and such, but it ruined it - they need to be subtle to be hot.
and Renee, they're so helpful. I love them all.
Hahahah love it. :)
Oh, Iain. I'll never understand you and your ridiculous rules for which blog you post in.
You're right--the subtlety is what it's all about. Otherwise it's like the Catholic school girl with the first few buttons of her oxford shirt undone. Yawn.
My favourite part is when she corrects her typo!
Can you imagine if she had left it uncorrected?!
And yeah, when they yank up their skirts - boring!
Hooray! Librarians! We really do rule the world.
