Presented by Matt Smith, Sullivan County Community College .
SUNY libraries are facing down the need to “make due with what we’ve go”, given our budget constraints. The presentation title comes from the fact that Utica Club beer used to be the cheapest canned beer on the market (prompting a joke that if you relabel yourself, you can become a microbrew).
Libraries today are about quality of service — when Matt worked for FedEx, they moved boxes, at a base level, but their goal was to move boxes better than anybody else. Libraries need to focus on that high level of service, as well, particularly when financial resources are small. We always have service resources.
We’re caught in the conundrum that when budgets go down, expectations go up, generally because we set the bar high for ourselves.
What do they do at Sullivan to keep services up when budgets go down? Leverage free technology.

As Metaquotes puts it:
IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, THE PEOPLE ARE REPRESENTED BY THREE SEPERATE YET EQUALLY IMPORTANT GROUPS: THE POLICE, WHO INVESTIGATE CRIME, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS, WHO PROSECUTE THE OFFENDERS, AND MATT DEVLIN, WHO SEDUCES CRIMINALS UNTIL THEY CONFESS TO EVERYTHING THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DONE. THESE ARE THEIR STORIES.

From the back of the book:
The Sunshine girls are back!
Jessica Sunshine - bright, warm and downright deadly if one got too close. That’s the lesson homicide detective Matt Denby learned the hard way when he teamed up with the youngest Sunshine sister. Sure, he wanted to help solve her father’s murder. But being on the case - day and night - with the sultry TV reporter was driving him up the wall…in more ways than one. Jes... more

Library bloggers and graduate students regularly ask “what’s the most important thing you learned in graduate school?” or “What do you wish you’d learned in graduate school?”, and I almost always talk about project management skills. But that’s not the thing I think is most important to success in our profession.
I came in to work this morning hoping to pull the first weeding truck of the semester (I even made a new mix on my iPod in anticipat... more
Every year I get a little bit older, and our incoming freshman get a little bit younger. This is my fifteenth straight September spent on a college campus, which means I’ve seen fifteen incoming freshmen classes. They, now, finally make me feel old. I’m 32.
Of course, it doesn’t help that I just saw a student reading a magazine in our lobby and thought, “that is a seriously cute top. I wonder where she got it?” and then realized that she was wearing sai... more

When I separated out my personal and professional blogging, I made a few deals with myself. One was that I wasn’t going to let my personality get wiped from the professional blog, another was that I wouldn’t let the professional side languish, and another was that I would try to keep the aimless posting to a minimum on the professional blog.
In a busy week like this one has been, in which my personal blog has been filled with aimless whining, online shopping lists, and comment... more
While making plans with my husband to go buy office supplies Not At WalMart (if we were philosophically opposed to WalMart in our town before they opened, we’re now fully opposed given the chaos they are wreaking on traffic patterns) for his new office this evening, I told him I’d already bought new office supplies for myself, and I realized that I have a very particular coping tactic for chaos: I prepare to fix it. I don’t actually fix it, mind you, but I prepar... more
