Out from THE SHADOWS IN THE STACKS comes Bette!

SHADOWS IN THE STACKS is a great name for the librarians amongst us. I'm at LAPL in Los Angeles (Literature and Fiction Dept. of course). Where are you?

Bette
PS: to keep in line with the topic, I'll vote for Vicky for Governess of the Year

Great job you have Bette. I am an Approval Plan Manager for a large book distributor on the East Coast. I select health/science books for hospitals and medical school  library collections according to their profile. However, I have worked in every type of library  (academic,  public, and special)during my career. I specialized  in reference service. I enjoy helping people find information.

Bette darling, How could I have forgotten that you are also working amongst the stacks (or the ref room, to be more accurate)???  I guess it's because you were so regal and charming when I met you, I think of you more in a job like "Mistress of Collinwood" than "Ruler of the Ref Room"!

Anybody else here ever find those OCLC records for some of the MPI videos?  I guess some might consider them not worthy of mention, but I think they're a hoot!

Victoria Winters also gets my vote!  She had to put up with the demon seed child and was largely responsible for turning him into a rather likeable kid.  Had I been VW, I would have run out to buy duct tape to keep this kid strapped to his chair...and that is why I could never be a teacher.  Oh, woo.  
  It is no small wonder to find out that Vam, Gothick, HappyBat, Luciaphil, and Bette are librarians.  Some of the smartest postings come from the "Shadows in the Stack" gang!  When you read the postings, you get a sense of what the people must be like.  I very much look forward to meeting you all and as many other site members as I can.  Thank you for making this site my most very favorite website.

I'm not sure any of them  actually worked as a governess they were all too busy elsewhere but I pick Maggie Evans only because i wanted to be her(not Marcia Brady) when i was a teen and loved her groovy outfits the best I did like Vicki's hair though so it was a close one 8)

Thanks for the compliment Steve, but I really feel more like Mrs. Johnson, just trying to keep the place running while everyone else goes on about their sometimes crazy business.  ;D

Sounds like an interesting job. We have started to use a sort of profiling in ordering for our subject departments. I do have to agree though that helping people find information is the most rewarding part of the job. Since my department has the books on TV I get especially excited when people ask about Dark Shadows books or other info, and believe it or not, after all this time people do still ask.  :)

Did both of the recent novels (Lara's and Mark's) have good circulation statistics? Just curious....

Vicki Winters hands down. She was so cool with, "the little monster" even when he was at his worst.

Now from the construction workers perspective, she was the kind of lady that makes me wish I could go back to school and learn all those things that I couldnt appreciate then!

I'll let it go there.

Lara's book did not have a huge circulation considering how many people there are in LA. Unfortunately Mark's book was barcoded as "generic paperback" so there is no way of gathering circulation stats on it.  :-/

Steve,  

You intrigue me.  Almost enough to make me explore OCLC in the lab tomorrow.
