Well, it's Thursday again, so I'm back for another weekly update. Things have been quite busy this week. I've met with a couple of customers here at the library, and over the phone. There really haven't been many people calling, e-mailing, or stopping by the library lately, but I'm still trying to get more people interested in what we have here. I suspect the nice weather has something to do with this, and I can't blame them I guess. Still things are going well. Everyone I have been helping seems to come back and says they learn a lot.
Last Friday the CTEP Accessibility and Usability committee started shooting video footage for our video project. We got some footage from Intermedia Arts that morning, and then PPL in the afternoon. I think it went really well, and we got a lot of good footage. I even got to try shooting a little video, which was cool because I didn't know how well I could see to do so.
This past Wednesday, we also got to go on a tour of the new Rondo Library we'll be moving to this summer. My main first impression was simply how huge the place truely is. It's a lot bigger than Lexington Library. It's probably over twice the size. Everything seems well thought out though. I got to see where the new homework center, and my favorite part, the electronic classroom will be. The rest of the library looked quite nice too. The construction isn't quite done yet, but you really can get to see how things will start to look shortly. I can't wait to see the final product.
Aside from work, I'm still slaving away on my Masters project. I finally have enough people who have completed my module, so I can finish my report that's due on Friday. We have to write a 5 to 10 page paper that basically described how all the testings went, how I did them, and how well everyone did. No actual names will be used though. I have most of the written part done, but since the last couple of people finished last night, I have to still put together lots of tables, charts, and graphs that show a variety of things. This is the pat I'm not lookiing forward to. It's just a lot of data entry, and making tables and charts that look nice. I found out last night that I had completely forgotten how to make a graph in Excel, so I was relearning that again. I just never make graphs because I never have the need, and I can't really read them myself. I now know enough again to finish my report though.
Everything went really well with my evaluations. I got 8 people to go through the training module, and I got really good and different feedback and suggestions from everyone. So thank you everyone who did go through it. It's helping a lot. After I finish this report, it's the final draft of everything. I really have to just compile everything into one long Word file, and fix a few things in the documentation, and I'll be done. I can't wait. It's been a lot of work, but I've learned a lot.
I really haven't had any time to do anything much else than work and homework this past week, and I forsee the same for the next week or two. That's ok though because I'm getting a lot done.
Until next week...

Your training module rules! Glad I could help you out. I'm excited to see what you get to do with it in the future. I can't wait to see everyone at corps day tomorrow, I feel like I haven't seen the corps in forever and eight days!
