In many academic libraries, the new fiscal year starts in June. I have spent much of this week planning for the next stage or our new library. All of a sudden, it struck me how strange it felt to think of a "new year" in June. I felt out of time, like I had just missed Christmas and January 1. Or perhaps it felt like I had just lost half a year. I am living in two times, and right now I am feeling a bit of dissonance. It is almost like waking up from a vivid dream only to find that the week that you dreamed about did not happen.
Still, I am excited about the coming year. We will have some new firsts: new students; new resources; new challenges and new spaces. In the (paraphrases) words of the professor from Back to the Future, the future is not written yet, it can be anything that we want it to be. Happy New ( Fiscal) Year to all of you academics!
