So I just talked with Alice. I had written her a list of projects I can do through the Spring 2008, which we just talked over.
First, I finish this inventory by July 31st and send in the report.
Second, this Fall announce and search for subject specialists to visit the colleges I visited and determine the scholarly value of these collections. That would be something difficult to find, but maybe it will be possible. Certainly an area I am not that knowledgeable about, but she knows that and thinks I may be capable of it afterall.
Third, I will continue processing and arranging the ACA archives and write a records management plan for ACA to use thereafter.
Fourth, I will take a course in Library Information Science from UK this Fall and probably this coming Spring.
Fifth, in the Spring I will interview, record, and transcribe a history of the ACA from Alice and write it. It will include her "bits of wisdom" for future projects and endeavors ACA does.
So it looks like everything is working out for me to stay till May 2008. After that, it looks like anything else is possible. Who knows what might pop up for me in another year? Even here, in Richmond, in Lexington, in Frankfort?
I am hopeful. Now other staff is going to see how they can "keep me on the payroll." *crosses fingers*
