Hi, Everybody!

Hello Gentle Readers (if you really exist),I am knee deep in my penultimate semester of Library School. This semester I'm learning about how to be an independent information professional (and other non-library career options), how to design learning models (by far the most challenging, and worthy of a post all its own), and archiving, which is fun and about...archiving. I hope to post on my blog more in the near future, in the hopes that someone may read it and "discover" me, a la old fashioned

Back to School...

Hi Everyone,School has started again, and I am getting into the swing of it. This semester, I'm taking Intellectual Freedom, Designing Web Interfaces, and JavaScript. So far, so good. This semester seems to be somewhat easier than the last two, but of course, I speak too soon.My next step is to contact my advisor and see where I go from here. There are many possibilities in the library world, from collections development, to developing online databases. A combination of the two would be very

Eco Library Cards in San Francisco

2009/05/29

Hello Readers,Here's a fun one. San Francisco Public Library (SFPL) has recently introduced eco library cards, made of corn starch They're free for new members and $1.00 for current members.As the author of the blog points out (click here or on the title of this post), libraries have always promoted free, re-usable materials, so why not the card as well? It makes perfect sense, and I'm all for environmentally friendly measures, but I also remember receiving a paper library card from my local NYPL

Sunday Morning, Lying in Bed

The Library Files ·

2009/03/22

Gentle Reader,The blogosphere provides the opportunity for oversharing of one's most intimate details and thoughts, which probably only the blogger in question truly cares about, and the reader of said blog probably doesn't find nearly as fascinating.At this very moment, I am sitting in bed, my husband is reading "The Red and the Black", and our cat is curled up next to him having demanded and received attention. Exciting, no?Later we shall go to Bed, Bath & Beyond, where we will exchange

The Wine

2009/03/16

Gentle Reader,For those of you who are simply fascinated by the goings on in my life, the wine I consumed in my last post was not a chardonnay, but was instead a sauvignon blanc by Fetzer (cheap but good). Having written this, I hereby acknowledge that I have completely forsaken by New York roots, and have instead become a bona fide Northern Californian, with all the preciousness that entails. I will try to redeem my New Yorker street cred in a later post. In the meantime, I

The Second Post

Gentle Reader,Some people choose blogging, while others have blogging thrust upon them. I fall into the latter category, dragged kicking and screaming into the last part of the first decade of the 21st Century (a big shout-out to Stacy Wile at LIBR240 for being the one to thus drag me), but I must say, I am now rather intrigued.What scintillating adventures am I up to right now? RIGHT NOW? Well, I am blogging about blogging (metablogging?) while my partner makes dinner (some sort of stew with

The First Blog

2009/03/13

Hello Readers,Welcome to my first blog, posted after a long, hard day at the office. My partner is home from work now (yay!) and my cat is waiting to be shot up. It's nice and quiet in our home, though any minute now, my partner is going to ask if it's ok that he turn on the TV. We will then eat dinner, and watch "Futurama" while our cat either hangs out with us, ignores us, begs for attention, or all of the above.Stay tuned for more pulse-pounding, scintillating adventures!Jonathan
