Computers and being a librarian

I am a mortuary science librarian, well I guess that is the best way to describe what I do. I am the library director at a mortuary school in the city I live in.
Today I have felt a great deal of pride both the for the profession of mortuary science and for the library world.
Today I read an article in The Director, which is a serial published by the National Funeral Director's Association, NFDA, titled "Grief Relief: A professional librarian outlines how public libraries can help those dealing with the pain of loss, reminding people that 'a book can be a precious balm.'"

Today while blow drying my hair I have decided, after spending a lot of weeks messing around with a students' mac, that I would like to buy a Mac book when I finally have a full time job.
Mac's are not as bad as I thought they were, nor are they nearly as hard to use as I originally thought either. I will continue to use a PC and will most likely upgrade my PC laptop in another couple of years as well. I do also have a desktop PC that I do plan on using until it completely kicks the bucket. But since my desktop actually starts up faster and in general is slightly easier to use in some aspects than my laptop I have a feeling I will have my desktop much longer than my laptop.
I really know I will piss off a lot of people if I get a mac, but at the end of the day I am tired of not knowing what do in all situations.

And for one last final note, I am thinking about a lot of different options for next year for work and life changing decisions. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I decide what to do.

Soon I promise

So I promise to blog VERY soon about Library Lobby Day. Including pictures and everything. However I was laying in bed the other night thinking of ways that I could help my students, low cost of course, in all sorts of fields. And then I remembered what technologies I learned during my internship. I used wiki's. So of course I could do that!!!
So I have decided that in addition to doing everything else I have been trying to do, I am going to make up a wiki for the students to use. It will have everything on there that they need. And I can always add more when and if needed. I can put up links to great resources for their projects, for small businesses, for state standards in mortuary business, for state standards when it comes to passing the tests, for everything they could possibly need.
Wiki's are great. Because then I can allow the students to upload the different items they would like, and can add whenever needed. Then we can also put up courses for the school, maybe even a section for the students to do book exchange type thing. It would be so awesome! Wow I am really avoiding writing this paper....
