Caveat Lector

So, I got a lot of stuff off my to-do list, what with vacationing, doing the Midwest Library Tech Conference, and surviving data-curation bootcamp (“drop and give me five METS files!”). Unfortunately, stuff just keeps creeping back on. If I make a list, I’ll feel better. Well, I won’t, actually, but I’ll feel more motivated.

• Draft of authority-control article for Cataloging and Classification Quarterly due mid-July.
• A lot of prose on the IR I run for next Thursday’s face-to-face meeting. (Gah.)
• Finishing writeups for the researcher-data-practices report I’m writing part of. (Five down, three to go.)
• Revamping readings, assignments, and topics for 644. (Goodbye, RFID; hello, e-science.)
• Setting up a Drupal install for 644. (I’ll use campus’s evil, convoluted, crashy course-management system when campus puts a gun to my head. Not before.)
• Moving my web presence off Dreamhost, because I’m so sick of their downtime I could spit. In the process, working up a refreshed design for CavLec and (if I’m really lucky) moving all the blogs I host to WPMU for easier management.
• Scaring up co-PIs for the IMLS 21st-Century Librarianship grant I have in mind. Writing said grant.

There may be some other stuff for fall; depends on whether SPARC accepts my proposal to talk about the BibApp in November. But I’m not thinking about that. Too much else to do!
