As a soon-to-be librarian, eager to become more active in the profession, I shall be attending the ALA Midwinter meeting this weekend, which is conveniently being held mere blocks from my home. This will be the first big professional event that I have ever attended, and I'm really looking forward to meeting other librarians from all over the country. I'll be going with stacks of business cards and resumes in hand, since this will be a great opportunity for job-hunting.
In other news, this week was the start of my final term in the MLIS program at Drexel. I'm taking 3 classes: US Government Publications, Library Automation, and Collection Development, and so far these classes seem like they will be both fascinating and informative. I've already been bitten by the government documents bug - after only one day of learning about government documents, I'm completely hooked on them. The overly complicated, yet pleasantly logical numbering system applied to government documents greatly appeals to me, and I could really see myself becoming a government documents librarian.
