I’m always embarassed when great content sources somehow escape my notice. Please go bookmark librarianactivist.org, right now.
Greg goes to MLA
Speaking of librarian activism, Greg from Shush, the conservative librarian blog, has been at the MA Library Association conference doing a little conservative library activism. Greg and I may disagree politically about pretty much everything, but he was personable when I met him, works a few towns over from where I grew up [and may very well represent the views of a lot of that community], and anyhow I’m always interested in people’s activist awakenings, even if it’s not for “my” side.
hi – 29apr
Hi. I taught 12 seniors how to use email yesterday. Then I taught a searching class on our Heritage Quest database. Showed a patron what an ISBN was and how it works. Sent out 20 thank-you letters to people who signed up for library cards last week. Got an IM handle for the library [add rutlandfree to your buddy list]. Learned how to change the colors on our ugly OPAC. Friday I’m on the reference desk all day. It’s been a good week to be a librarian.
librarians ARE hot
We all know librarians are hot — or some of them are — but it seems that the book reviewers on Amazon.com know it too. [thanks jonathan]
yay, it’s late April
Like the Male Librarian Centerfold, I too am glad the tax season is mostly over at my library.
