Greetings,
As another fall semester begins, our campus is full of energy.  There's nothing quite like it!  I always look forward to meeting new students and faculty in the fall.

There was an interesting article from the Wall Street Journal which focuses on procrastination and strategies manage time effectively:

Sometimes even librarians get overwhelmed.  Speaking from personal experience, breaking a large task down into smaller pieces can make things much more manageable.  Well, that and allotting enough time for the task helps too!  Until next time, catch me in the library.
