one of the assignments in my reference class calls for five hours of observation in reference environments … my luck with sfpl has improved dramatically: i met the assistant director of the library while she was working the information desk, and she has put me on to people in other areas of the main that have been good enough to agree to help with this. this sort of thing feels like i’m stealing their time, but the folks at the main have been uniformly positive and generous with their help on this assignment.

dates and times will follow.
