The Initiation of Media Collection’s Memorials for 2008
Reply
The date was early in October in the year of 2008. As the change of guard occurred, an exciting announcement was made by the Media Collection’s own bugle blower, Jared A. Seay. The news announced was that no longer would the Media Collection’s peasant workforce be forced to use the hardly-functional neanderthal office tools. The disabled tape dispenser was replaced by the “Jared A. Seay-certified” Stephen Richard Werdann Memorial Tape Dispenser. The position of the old-fashioned manpowered pencil shaver was filled by a innovative, high-tech Brandon L. Hare Memorial Pencil Sharpener. At first glance, the simpleton Media folk were astonished and partially confused. Since the initiations of the specialized tools for Media Collections management: efficiency is up, the economy is doing better, the unemployment rate of Civil War reenactment actors is down and every Friday is now Hawaiian t-shirt Friday.
Media Collections Launches Blog
Today is day one of the Media Collections blog launch. Using the College of Charleston’s new blog software (thank you Jared and Andrew), the College (and Media Collections and me) now has access to Word Press style blogging. Stay tuned for upcoming information and innovation from the “media folks” at the Addlestone Library. Coming soon: New titles list, reviews of (old and new) titles, what’s happening (and who’s doing it) in Media Collections.
