Working with the client in the IMC of Hunterdon Central was rather easy. Working with him on an instant message? Not quite as enjoyable. Overall, the answers were few and far between and getting responses felt almost like pulling teeth. It is at this point that I wonder if there was any merit to what Mrs. Rosenberg, the head librarian of the IMC said to me before I left. Even though this client was suggested to me because of his inability to concentrate, he was right on top of the search. To explain the dissonance between reality and Mrs. Tyler's notions, Mrs. Rosenberg commented that I was "young and pretty and blonde" so he wanted to put on his searching "A-game." Now that I am not physically sitting there as he searches, I get little interest on the project. Maybe being a librarian is as simple as just sitting there and looking pretty. (I joke! I joke!) Anyway, I supplied the bulk of the conversation, which concludes with another unexpected problem for the task. When reading the conversation, it would be important to keep in mind that at least two minutes went by before I received any answers.
me: so i was able to access that journal... sort of
client: really haha
client: what did it say
me: rutgers actually subscribes to that journal
me: the only problem is there is only one volume out of all of them we do not have access to
me: clearly, it is the one with the article
me: so i got an interlibrary loan
me: and it should be emailed to me in a few days
me: when is your paper due?
client: uh either the 24th or 26th
me: all right
me: it should be in before then
me: i think your bibliography is due wednesday if i'm not mistaken
me: so if you go back to the imc, you can get all the information you need from that blue book on page 296 to write up the citation
me: does that work?
client: yea that is good'
me: so what direction are you going to take your argument?
me: (according to the assignment i'm supposed to help you find more sources more relevant to your needs once you figure that out)
client: that pornography is not bad and does not lead to violence
me: well thats the general topic
me: what are you points?
client: i dont know yet, i fould out that i have to get another surgery and to be honest the paper wasnt on the top of my mind
At this point I spoke with him about his upcoming surgery and tried to get buddy-buddy in the hopes that information will come faster in the future.

Kristie -
Have you made any progress since mid-Octobr. Looks like you were making good, solid progress... but that things seem to have petered out.
You were keeping good, thorough records of the work and interaction. As things move along, look at the elements that need to be included that are listed in Natty's posted paper, and that you should now be including.
Didn't see a clear articulation of strategy with concept to term database selection, and discussion about that may've changed as platforms changed. Please try to include this as an on-going element in your blog.
