Romping through comps
For what it’s worth, I’m going to be the proctor for comps in Tulsa yet again, so if anyone has questions about the process (though, obviously, not about the questions!), I’d be happy to entertain them. (In fact, I’m told that I can be very entertaining!) If anyone who has signed up for spring comps hasn’t been in the Tulsa computer lab lately, please be aware that you’ll be using Microsoft Word 2007 in there for the exam, so you might want to check the room and the machines out ahead of time. (Try to minimize the number of new things you’ll have to deal with that morning, as it’s generally stressful enough.)
Also, please be sure that you’re doing what we always ask you to do: keep on top of professional issues as they are impacted by current events, and, when you see the questions, think like the manager we hope that you’ll eventually become!
(And, if you’re not thinking of yourself as a “library manager,” and you still have the opportunity to choose a final assessment method, I’d encourage you to look at the portfolio experience: the portfolios I’ve seen lately are very customized to the individual’s professional interests and goals and seemed to work quite well.)
