evidence.
Ok, this is mainly so my mom and dad can see material evidence of something I’ve done, instead of endlessly just hearing vaguely about “this paper” and “that paper.”

Cover of the book I wrote chapters for
Now, there is proof for friends and family that yes, I’ve been in grad school forever, and no I’m not done yet, but I actually have finished some things.
My chapters, aside, this is a really cool book, and I’m glad to have been part of putting it together. It clearly and practically applies research methods that LIS students often read about “in theory” only. It has lots of examples pulled from the literature of our field, and the chapters aim to make abstract things concrete.
perhaps those who say i work too much have a point.
I have worked diligently on writing, looking up page numbers in articles, and verifying citations for just over 36 hours since Friday morning. A tad over 12 hours a day. And here I was excoriating myself for not getting started earlier in the day(s).
Every 5-10 minutes I am stopping myself from writing a paragraph that isn’t necessary, so imagine how bad it could be.
