Poster madness



yes, SLIS it is that time of year, where all of the graduating students are sleep deprived and have a slightly more frazzeled appearence. They all look slightly crazy and they randomly start talking about stuff that isnt acutally part of thier current course work....yep thier poster topic. Perhaps i am only speaking for myself. i most certainly qualify for the above discription. and I must add that I am currently at the Library, yes the crappy library that i spend most of my week at, that the architect must have designed with the idea of ugly bomb shelter/fortress/building that no sane person would want to spend more then 10 hours in per week. Seriously, the building is ridiculous, never have i seen a more unpleasant study place. only poster madness could induce me to be at the library on a saturday morning. id soo much rather be watching penguins of madagascar. I am currently rounding my 40th hour at the library this week :( and i really cant articulate my sadness about this fact. Anyways, that wasnt at all what i wanted to talk about. I have a tendency to ramble on my blog that is probably indicative of how i normally communicate but it is much more noticable in a text format. but i digress, i wanted to share my maps with the blogg world. I spent 7 hours working on them yesterday (map collection actually locked me in the department so i could finish, a new low in my work alholic life) they arnt completely done, i may mess around with the colors but for all intensive purposes they are complete at least content wise. and since they were nearly the bane of my existance i need to share them with as many as possible.
So just incase not every one has talk to me in the last month my poster is about collaboration on digital projects in special collections. I am useing the Liegh Hunt digital collection as an example and sent a survey to the institutions that have hunt holdings to find out conditions for collaboration on this small spread out project. The maps reflect the locations of Hunt holdings.


anyways I better get back to work. bye all
