Head Tale - Yet Another Librarian's Blog

There's an old saying in the non-profit world that "20% of your volunteers do 80% of the work." Now, many of the current 20%'ers are leaving the program and Student Council is looking for some representatives for next semester.

I would encourage anyone reading this (and especially those who haven't done a lot of volunteer work in their time at FIMS) to consider joining. I criticize Student Council as much as anyone but I also realise that they do fulfill a very valuable role. Joining student council is a great way to gain some experience and skills and have an impact on the program in a positive way.

Here's the notice...

Your MLIS Student Council needs representatives for the fall 2006 semester.

Do you have it in you to be a representative? If so, then I expect to either hear from you or see you next week.

The following is a list of available positions:

Academic Representative
Communications/Web master
Social (1)
Fundraiser
SOGS Representative
Secretary
Treasurer

If you are interested in one of these positions please come and meet with the current representatives on Wednesday July 19, 2006 in room NCB 295 from 12-1pm. Current representatives will be able to provide you with information on what their position entails.

Please e-mail me (tremilla@uwo.ca) if you are unable to attend this meeting and would like to become a Student Council representative.

Sincerely,
Tracy Remillard

Southwest Ontario Playlist

by Jason on Wed 12 Jul 2006 07:27 PM EDT

I'm creating a playlist of songs that have some connection to SW Ontario, preferably by specific name checks of locations in the title of the song but also by subject matter, artist residency or other similar factors.

Here's what I've got so far...

"Linda, Put the Coffee On" - Ray Materick
"Tillsonburg" - Stompin' Tom Connors
"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" - Gordon Lightfoot
"Justice in Ontario" - Steve Earle
"Oxford County Line" - Fred Eaglesmith

It's a pretty folkie list but I welcome any suggestions in any genre. You can respond in the comments section or by direct e-mail.

Classmate of the Day: Linda Bussiere for passing along some muffins today. A welcome treat!
