Part of my attachment to my current position as a no-one in the college of liberal arts is because I get to observe firsthand the interaction of the departments and their information requirements and usage. I have been remiss in inter-twining the library administration view because I have no reasonable access as I did during grad-school. The view that I have is the student and admin view and faculty chatter. I try to think about what I experience in terms of libraries. A lot of defining going on in my noggin.

I love repositories and want nothing more than to actually work with them. But I am SOL right now circumstantially. That said, my active librarian filter, work setting, and general desires have intersected before in just the way that this blog post describes. Tenured library faculty, scholarship, bloatedness, administration, WTF. This of course from someone with a box of abstracts that I would love to write papers for, but very few papers of note and no papers in my field except graduate work...so this is all in my very humble opinion.
