Today I started my new position as Library Tech at the Ft. Jackson Post Library here in Columbia, SC. I do not have technical duties relating to servers, networks and computer systems as the position name implies. In my first day I shelved books, checked books in and out of the system, built bookshelves and answered reference questions. I did much on my first day and hope to learn much, much more.
So here is my first reference question:
"What is that test you have to study for to get into Law School?"
My response:
"That would be the LSAT."
"Do you have any books on that?"
"Yes, I do, let me look it up for you right here."
I proceeded to find a Kaplan LSAT study manual from last year on the OPAC and within 5 minutes he found what he needed.
Needless to say I felt exuberant and proud to help someone as a professional in a library setting for the first time in my life. I can't wait for the tough questions!
