Forgive me Doc Martens, for I have sinned.

It has been more than a week since my last post. There hasn't been much of anything going on...other than putting off studying for comps and working on my website.

Three items I'd like to mention:

1. It has just been suggested by our branch manager that I apply for the reference librarian position that has recently opened up. She said if a lot of people apply, I probably shouldn't get my hopes up, since I don't quite have my MLIS, but she said if only a few people apply I stand a pretty good chance. This is awesome, if intimidating news. Apparently I've been doing a good job so far.

2. While playing around on NoveList this morning, I noticed something inspired by Krug. NoveList has tabs at the top of the screen that list the different categories (Home, For Readers, etc). And when you first click on the tabs, they "act" like physical tabs, in other words you can always tell which category you're in. But when you click on a subcategory on that page (for instance, "Author Read-alikes" under For Readers), the physical tab disappears. And it was a little confusing...I couldn't remember which category I was in. Krug would be proud of the tabs, but there needs to be more consistency. They should act like physical tabs during every step of the search so the reader can always know where they are. This may not make sense unless you've read Krug, and if you have, I hope I've done a good job of explaining this.

3. Just three days left to vote on my latest poll! The topic is a little belated, and it's silly, but vote anyway.
