HUG!

 Well today I went to my first HUG meeting. It is very different from what my best Californian friend does, that is hug people, though I felt like hugging people as I was quite happy.

HUG stands for Heritage User Group and they have two meeting per year.

This was the winter meeting and yes, it's snowing outside so perfect description.

I could not go to all sessions but I went to most. It's not every day, being a one-person library that I can speak and exchange ideas with other librarians who also use Heritage Cirqa.

Hence me wanting to hug people. 

Now of course I have a to-do-list to recreate in order to make sure I will make the most of it. 

Plenty of good tips for stocktaking, but it also reassured me that I do not do too badly. I could do better, that is less efforts in moving books and yes, perhaps use TestData in order to refresh my memory.

As with the session on keywords, I ought to go back to all course programmes, perhaps ask Tutors, and see what the searches are on the catalogue (that will also pick up mispelling of words, so perhaps I could ask a 'did you mean' as if I were Google. Cool.)
