Lunch at Stanford

I found my counterpart at lunch time - Karen Clay - in the Stanford Engineering Library. We joined other science librarians and staff at the student center. There I reconnected with others I knew, including Sharon Propas who at one time worked in Langsam Reference!

I was thinking about being envious of Karen and her position at Stanford, such a prestigious institution. But when I found her she was in her blue jeans, pulling journal volumes off the shelves to go to storage. This was her first foray into sending off items for which she also had electronic access. And she had to fight for the space. We are progressive in Ohio. We can be thankful for that.

By the way, though friend Peter dropped me off in the morning, I was able to walk "home" at the end of the day. It was a 30-minute walk past the hospital area and the faculty/grad housing. It's a huge campus, not to mention the shopping center they own....
