This week I’m attending the KMWorld & Intranets 2008 conference and gave a presentation this afternoon (a little case study of how we collect user feedback on our research portal and some of the things we’ve found in our recent surveys and user studies.)
Baby Shower Tea at Chic Chateau

My team at work took me out this afternoon for a tea party at Chic Chateau (walking distance from work but I had absolutely no idea it was there!). It was a wonderful treat and I definitely feel like I’ve been sent off in style.
Tomorrow’s my last day of work before maternity leave kicks in — the baby is officially due 2 weeks from today but we’ll see when she decides she’s ready…

I’m very excited to report that I received an offer today for a real position at the company I work for (as opposed to being a contractor, which I have been there since January). The position is a little different from what I have been doing, but is still within the same team of great people that I work with now. I’ll be the program manager for the market research portal that I have been working on for the past year and a half, and have more of a chance to promote the site throughout the company, survey users, conduct trainings and drive the site’s future evolution (as well as the other information services our team provides like a blog, library, custom inquiry work, etc.) Woo hoo!!!

Some of our team at work did a community service/team building morning helping to weed the heritage rose garden — and then we all went out to lunch. it was a gorgeous day to be outside!
It’s Official

It’s official, I am an intern no more! I just finished filling out all the paperwork, and starting 1/2/06 I will be employed *full time* as an Information Specialist! Unfortunately, I lose some of the intern perks (like software discounts, sorry folks) but I am very excited to continuing to do the work I’ve been doing for the last year plus many new assignments and projects including more reference/inquiry stuff. For obvious reasons, I won’t be posting much about work here, but perhaps on topics related such as developing taxonomies, working with metadata, special libraries, etc. and maybe I should start paying some more attention to local SLA events. And no, this doesn’t mean that I’m giving up on public library work. I hope to keep subbing on weekends here and there to keep my hand in and when they reopen the hiring list…
