A friend of mine, to whom we shall refer by his unintentionally geeky initials: PC (a steadfast characteristic of geek of the week is the unintentional nature of its recipients), won the label one week.

Upon close inspection, it was discovered that one of the reference desk computers had some fairly specific if not exactly interesting bookmarks saved to the browser. Regardless of how many times this station was logged off at night, the next time we checked - it was the same.

Turns out that our uber-talented reference librarian, PC, was carrying his personal bookmarks from computer to computer on a flash drive so he would never be without fishingismylife.com (or some other equally important past-time site). Each morning, he would import his bookmarks and then carry on with his day.

It is this sort of commitment to reference services (both to the customer's and to his own) that deems PC the geek of the week. Fish on.

i won this one hands down

Another day in the library. For once there were very few customers...perhaps it was before we opened. A clerk brought a book to the big boss and said, "Is this title miscataloged?" She took the title in hand and said, "Hmm, this is so much more a 793 than a 392." Now, for you sticklers, I may misremember the exact numbers...the point is that she is so wrapped up in her vocation - she can casually reference the Dewey decimal system in her discussion of a book topic. I'm pretty sure she can casually reference the system in relation to any topic in her everyday conversations. Commitment.
Geek of the week to the max.

It was a normal day at the library. Everyone was busy with their assigned tasks. Heather and Viki were going through the daily mail separating lots of professional magazines, memos, county fliers for posting and advertisements. The occasional murmer between co-workers was suddenly broken by a shout.
The award goes to Heather G. for being so excited about a publication that came in the mail. I believe her exact words were, "The new assistive devises catalog is here!" She then started jumping up and down clapping her hands. Such enthusiasm.
Geek of the Week for sure.
