After helping a student find a particular passage of a book using Google Books (this particular book has probably been checked out by all the English 101 students in Chicago. I found one large print edition I was about to send her after) saving her a trip to the far away Harold Washington Library I was complemented with the phrase, “You are effing awesome!”
I would never have imagined saying that to a librarian or to anybody else for that matter while I was an undergrad or even now… but it sure made me feel good. What does this say about undergrad students today? Does anybody else have stories like this?
Perhaps some of you have not been told that you are effing awesome… Well, you are all effing awesome!
Now back to writing a collection development paper.
