Live from the Reference Desk

It's 11:30 a.m. and the CRC library is in full swing.  I just helped a student print her transcript from the e-services computer and am watching another student do so.  Two students in front of me are looking up reserve textbook call numbers in the e-catalog computers.  A young man in a pristine North Face jacket just punched a key on a computer--trying to use it?  But walked away when the sign-on screen came up.  Evidently he isn't a student here but was trying to mooch on the account of someone who left without logging out.  I've helped 8 students look up the call numbers for textbooks so far.  No interesting research questions today, alas.

Just a typical day at the reference desk.  Sigh.
