First of our floor team meetings this morning. Aiming to have them once a fortnight. Just a short thing to keep us two Faculty Librarians, our assistant, the floor manager and his assistant up to speed on what we're all doing. We can just about all cram into the little goldfish bowl I share with the latter two bodies.

I'm not quite sure we knew what to say to each other, but there were some useful points covered and I suspect they'll come into their own when we're more used to them (and each other).

So that makes one floor team meeting fortnightly, one faculty librarian (and boss) team meeting fortnightly, and one faculty/floor team (and odd others) megameeting fortnightly. I think I'm keeping them all straight. Just as long as I know what I'm expected to say where. (Though I suspect my Douglas Adams quote in the last big meeting might have been the straw that broke the head's back when he muttered "I'm just going to my quiet place...")

The practical upshot of this morning's meeting is that I've managed to give a job to D, our new assistant that the other faculty librarian had previously given to the floor manager's assistant. I could see the latter's worries over job demarcation rearing its ugly head but I'm sure things will settle down as we get used to each other... It's certainly an interesting process.
