11:27 a.m. I am all setup in the main cafeteria. I don't really know what to expect over here. I am definitely in the students domain by being here. The first student I told said, "That is something different." I feel a little like a professor trying to do a lecture in the cafeteria. That would not be received very well. We will see. The idea is not to bludgeon people with our services but to provide convenient access to our services. Stay tuned...
11: 38 a.m. The best part about being at the cafeteria is the hamburgers. I wouldn't normally recommend school cafeteria food but these burgers are top notch. Yes..I am eating. I thought that might help show solidarity with the students rather then just a guy in a golf shirt pushing his services.
If anyone would like to IM me while I am doing this, my name is dbulibrarian.
12:06 p.m. The rush is on. The room is filling up. I am amazed at the number of students who are getting take out boxes and leaving with their food. Maybe they have a class to prepare for, maybe they are working on campus, or maybe they are practicing the constant motion lifestyle that seems to be evident in this generation. How do librarians account for groups that rarely just do one thing at a time? In a way, that is what this Librarian on Location idea is about. If students are constantly in motion, then the more ubiquitous the library can be the better. I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this issue.
