Merry New Year!

It’s finally over. Christmas and New Year are in the rear-view mirror, and Spring approaches ever faster.

After gorging yourself with various nibbles, snacks and tasty treats, going back to work must seem a bit of a drag, especially after you drank a few too many glasses of bubbly to see in 2015.

2015. Where has the time gone? This is the year Marty and Doc Brown travelled to in Back to the Future 2! I still am without a hover board though, and my clothes are disappointingly still not automated, to say nothing of the abolishment of the Lawyer.

So then, a new year means a new you right? Going to finally start that new fad diet, stop drinking all that beer/wine, and join the gym. Millions of people do it every year, and it goes the same for a vast majority of them. The first two weeks are fun and exciting, and then you remember that you actually enjoy a beer, that this fad diet is plain ridiculous, and the gym is taking up a bit more of your time than you previously anticipated.

Perhaps slightly more relevantly, that research article that you’ve been meaning to start for sometime, and the deadline looming ever closer is starting to be a cause for concern, or that technique you aren’t certain about, but it comes up so rarely that it’s ok to ask a colleague about it.

I wonder who could possibly help with that.

Readers of previous articles, and anyone familiar with rhetoric at all however, will jump to the conclusion that it may in fact be something that us lot down in the library can help with. Not help you drink less beer, but I’m sure we can find something to get you going on that indecipherable research topic, and provide clarity on the best techniques.

This article was less of a tirade on the benefits of the library, and more a chance for us at the library to say we hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. And hope you weren’t blinded by the fireworks in London. Better than my Catherine Wheel, I tell you that!

 

See you next time!
