Meet Steve "in person"

From Steve the Library Guy

Hey everyone. This is my first blog, so this could be interesting and maybe even a good laugh or two!! Being the librarian at a chiropractic college is quite intriguing. One never knows what each day will bring. Some days, not a lot happens, then boom, everyone wants the same book, the same DVD or the same journal article.

Thankfully, we have the capability to duplicate DVDs and photocopy articles. Libraries normally don't carry much more than 2 or 3 copies of any particular monograph (book) so we use the Reserve Shelf so that more students can have access to limited copies. Sometimes, it’s like a wild rollercoaster ride as the staff attempts to have the materials available for the students. 

All in all, it’s a great place to be, as I learn new things everyday and hopefully, teach others new stuff about research and using a library.

Until next time, Live Long and Prosper!
