I so much more enjoy being at the Reference Desk when the library is busy and there are people to help.
The computer tower has a wonky power button so when you are unable to get it started fiddle with the blue button.
Not sure if I like the out-of-the-box reference desks sold by various companies. Strangely enough, the desks look like out-of-the-box reference desks.
Does anyone go right into advanced search when looking for information packages in our catalog? I don't as a first choice, but it works first-rate when I do.
Who compiles the use statistics for patron activity at this desk? I remember seeing a report once, but that was a couple years ago. The archives keeps use statistics if anyone is interested.

Sonja's students put all the ticks into a spreadsheet. It's color coded and everything. Data, we have data; lots and lots of data. (Sung to the tune of a David Letterman mail song.)
BTW, I totally dig the advanced search for most databases. Only some of them are more trouble than they are worth.
