Well, I created a gmail account for myself instead of adding yet another bunch of email to my lonestar.edu account. I cleaned out my address book and deleted some folders that were passe. I have a large number of unread emails that I intend to attack and delete first, and then I will look to see what I can put into folders and after that what can be deleted. Since I have a large glut of unread email, this is going to take some time, but I hope to have the unread emails cleared out by week's end. One thing that I wish we could do is stop all the superfluous email that we receive from the college that has absolutely nothing to do with the library. It is really annoying to have to deal with that, but guess we are stuck with it. Because I have a large number of posts to sort out, it is not something that is going to be able to be accomplished overnight. I have been trying to get all the email read and definitely get rid of ones that are no longer necessary. I am going to try not to skip over messages, but either read, file or delete them as they come in. I intend starting today to purge or file at least 25 emails a day until my account is cleaned up. Because I will be taking two weeks of because of the wedding, I will not be able to be totally finished with this project in April; however, I am setting a target date of May 30th. Because of the size of my account and the fact that some days there is not enough time available to work on this project with summer reading coming up, I feel that this is a reasonable deadline and one that I can meet or beat.
