I& #39;m going to give this a shot! Will be using #LibrariesWFH today to share what I& #39;m up to while working remotely. https://twitter.com/bobbinewman/status/1252922223725367296">https://twitter.com/bobbinewm...
First a disclaimer: I& #39;m a librarian at a biotech, & I have a LOT of support to #StayHomeSaveLives.
I& #39;m very lucky my org understands how to #ProtectLibraryWorkers & I encourage you to thank your favorite library for all they& #39;re doing by NOT asking them to reopen until it& #39;s safe. https://twitter.com/masslibassoc/status/1251871349909401601">https://twitter.com/masslibas...

First up, as always: email triage!
Yesterday someone reached out to me for access to a tool that& #39;s not managed by our library; the first email I see this morning confirms we pointed him in the right direction and he& #39;s good to go. #LibrariesWFH

I normally use an outlook to-do list, but things (somehow!) move even more quickly than usual at home.
For now I& #39;ve switched to a paper to-do list, because it helps force me to give myself credit for triaging the incoming stuff, too. #LibrariesWFH
I vagued this one up to share

In between meetings, I& #39;m squeezing in ebook purchases (a big uptick in this, of course).
Some go through our ebook platform - easy win, if they aren& #39;t more expensive than our budget can support.
Some are email requests - sadly, not all are available to my library. #LibrariesWFH

My boss covers the crisis that just arose (a key resource is down) which means I can still go to my 10:30 meeting!
Met with colleagues about strategy for our org& #39;s upcoming digital trainings. I& #39;m excited to run 2 sessions next week introducing library resources. #LibrariesWFH

Surprise!meeting with my grandboss is made more ominous by my toaster oven ticking away a countdown directly behind me (reheating pizza) - but he prefaces with "it& #39;s good news"
Will I run the library-side of the digital training strategy moving forward? Absolutely! #LibrariesWFH

My laundry hopes were thwarted (communal laundry in a pandemic: adventure!) so it& #39;s onto print book requests.
My library isn& #39;t distributing print books, but we& #39;re still accepting requests and placing orders we can make available as soon as we& #39;re back in the office. #LibrariesWFH

LOTS of colleagues ask if we can ship books to their homes while we& #39;re working remotely. (That& #39;s a sign of how much faith they have in our customer service, right?)
That& #39;s not something we& #39;re doing, but we respond and remind them about our ebook and docdel options. #LibrariesWFH
