1. Introduce
yourself
I'm
Eric Parker, Associate Director for Collection and Bibliographic Services at
the Pritzker Legal Research Center, Northwestern University Pritzker School of
Law.
2. Does
your job title actually describe what you do? Why/why not?
I
believe it actually describes the day-to-day more or less. Essentially, I
head up the technical services operation at our library. It maybe
doesn't clearly indicate some of my responsibilities, such as
convening/coordinating the library's selection team, and running certain
projects. This past year, we've been doing some weeding, off-site
storage, and reclassification projects for the print collection.
3. What
are you reading right now?
I am
currently reading "City of Fortune" by Roger Crowley. It's
about the history of Venice as a maritime and imperial power in the late
Middle Ages, and has been fascinating.
4. You
suddenly have a free day at work, what project would you work on?
It's
hard to imagine what having a free day at work would be like! I'm sure many
readers can relate. I'd really like to take the time to get more involved with
the library's marketing and outreach efforts again. I had been somewhat
involved with them for a while, but have had to step back from them in order to
devote attention to the projects mentioned above.

2. Does your job title actually describe what you do? Why/why not? Not entirely: Twenty-nine percent of my week is on the reference desk and also I help out at circulation as needed.

4. You suddenly have a free day at work, what project would you work on? Get caught up (or take a stab at it) on my professional development reading.
