Librarianship

The Boss and D.W. went up to Amarillo for an emergency meeting of our regional consortium. The main points: (1) Someone got canned as a result of the computer failure and negligence to back up the data. (2) Luckily we'll be able to retrieve our catalogue records from the past four months through OCLC, but all other data (circulation, new users, etc.) is gone for good. This puts a little crimp in my circulation statistics evaluation, but I checked the figures a short while before the crash so I should be reasonably up-to-date.
