After a period of procrastination up at the Athenaeum, I've had a burst of activity.
Today I finally got started on cataloguing the heritage book collection - I can see that this is going to be a long slow exercise, but one that's definitely going to bring benefits as regards our understanding of the collection.
Mind you not all the procrastination was really procrastination, I would have started on the heritage book collection last week, if it were not for us needing to invent a process for accessioning removable media, not to mention a standard way of describing and recording the contents of the removable media we were accessioning.
Tedious, uninteresting, but necessary, and hopefully developing these procedures will stand is in good stead when someone next drops a USB stick or a CD on us.
And I've decided to bite the bullet and rejoin Facebook.
I'm not a fan, but given that so many local history groups use Facebook there's really no way of opting out...
