Sheraton lobby bar: can I help you?
January 16th, 2005 by Andrea MercadoSo I’m here at the Sheraton Lobby Bar, hangin’ with some bloggers and other cool ALA attendees, and some nice gals at the table behind me see me with my laptop, and ask if they can use my wireless connection to look at the wedding dress pictures of one of the gal’s daughters. Apparently, we looked that hip as a crowd, and they felt like they could ask us for help.
Being the consumate reference librarian, I helped them out.
Not only did I help them get to the pictures in the woman’s webmail (since I didn’t know these people, as nice as they were, I required that I “drive”), I used my knowledge of sewing and clothing design (yes, librarians sometimes have the most random skills at hand) to help describe what the dress would actually look like on her daughter, as opposed to hanging on a hanger in the photos.
Radical reference on the spot rocks.
