Is Anybody Else As Tired As I Am?

I spent the weekend doing the readings and podcast listenings for the fourth and final module of MLIS 7505. I also spent some time this weekend learning my way around Dspace and uploading some content to my community. I really, really like Dspace and hope that eventually Valdosta will roll out its own version. I actually found myself arguing, not heatedly, with one of my academic friends who isn't into new technologies about the merits of Dspace this weekend over dinner. I couldn't stop explaining to her how awesome this was going to be for her as an academic if her institution ever adopted the technology. This from the woman who couldn't have told you what Dspace was two weeks ago! Funny, huh?
Unfortunately, I lost plenty of sleep this weekend freaking out because not one of the six people I sent emails to about the final interview has gotten back to me! I don't know what Ebonye and I are going to do if we can't find willing participants. I'm just hoping that they are all going to check their email today and write back to me. I don't know how we can possibly do the presentation either if we don't even get the interviews until the end of the week! I know, I need to chill out, and realize that things are going to work out but time is running short and this class will be over on Saturday! Surely someone will get back to me. I sent out two emails to digital librarians at Georgia Tech, two to Emory Librarians, one to Dekalb County Public Librarians and one to a woman who works on a library project in the Virginia Highlands. Somebody will come through, I hope. Cross your fingers.
