I'd say depends on context. You wear them so I don't have to hear your phone call or damn movie in a confined space, wear them. You come to my #ReferenceDesk and can't speak because you have them on, I'll ask you to remove them or come back when you can listen to me. (e)

I'll be honest. Someone comes to my #ReferenceDesk with one of those I'll be asking them to remove them or leave. I am not consenting to being recorded for some assclown. (e)

Interesting synchronicity for me. One of my research consults today the student is writing about the Mabinogion.

Gap in #ReferenceDesk coverage; student worker absent, so I am putting in some time this afternoon.

Online search has really gotten awful. Trying to find a basic article on topic, all I get is bs from YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and other shitty videos. Not what I nor my student need.
Ugh.

Once in a while I get some out of state reference query that can be, well, interesting. While I am happy to work on it and provide an answer to the best of my abilities, I do wonder why aren't they talking to one of their local librarians? (c)

Whirlwind of a day. Not bad, but very busy with various things including teaching a class, a research consult, meeting with my student workers, and some other stuff.
Hey, keeps me off the streets.
However, no #Tarot card this eve. We'll try again tomorrow.

Working #ReferenceDesk. My student worker did not show, so I am running the show on my own at this hour. Whether virtual or in person, I got you covered.
#SuperbOwl 🦉 time tends to be lower traffic, but we still get some traffic. I have 2 consults scheduled.

Student comes to #ReferenceDesk about book. Book is textbook, and turns out it is on reserves. No biggie. They comment they wanted to get copy, but sells for about $100. I almost fall off my chair since it is a trade paperback. I check, damn book is OOP.
Maybe teacher needs to update lesson plans.

Well, shit. The regime is killing off the 'CIA World Factbook.'

Having said, anyone want to lay bets if it gets a private pick up? Kind of like the US Statistical Abstract (from Census Bureau) got picked up by ProQuest?

Working the #ReferenceDesk as the #SundayLibrarian. Usually I can leave my student worker at the desk and stay in the office, but today I have a new worker, so I need to be close by.
I'll be a bit busy given I have 2 consults, and other administrivia to complete.

Putting in some time at #ReferenceDesk. I also have a new student worker working their first shift this early evening, so I will be here a bit late in order to train them.

Again, not naming names, but if you, big shot newspaper, cite a legal case, and you have text for it linked (for public, allegedly), DO NOT load it into some private shit like Scribd which requires subscription. Defeats the purpose.
Signed, you local online friendly librarian. #ReferenceDesk

Once again, Sunday at #ReferenceDesk. I am expecting it to be mostly quiet since this week is finals. Also Dec. graduation is happening today (for some reason, my college does it BEFORE finals, Jeebus knows why).
Anyhow, in person or virtual, we are here.

Finished my last research consult for this shift. Rest of shift should be a bit calmer (though I never know what will come to or happen at #ReferenceDesk).
