Biblioball Zine

Submitted by alycia on Mon, 11/02/2009 - 09:17

I am teaming up with Desk Set to create a zine to distribute at the next Biblioball scheduled for December 11, 2009! (mark your calendars!) I am looking for local NYC-based librarians who might like to write something for this compilation zine, and for independent libraries or library groups/organizations that might like to talk about what they do. If you are interested, please drop a line to: alycia (at) brokenja (dot) ws

Daily Reading Log

July 26, 2010

  • We talked about a great, great many things today at Immersion--we had over 12 hours together! I got to tell my group members about an article I read ("Re-Visioning Information Literacy for Lifelong Learning" by Dane Ward), and then we all talked about Palmer Parker's "Heart of a Teacher" chapter from The Courage to Teach.

July 25, 2010

  • Some more Octavia Butler--I broke down and bought Lilith's Brood for my final trip of the Summer (at last!). I read a bit of this at the airport and while in my native Vermont friend's recommended Burlington coffee shop, after exploring down by the water.

July 24, 2010

  • I didn't think that Survivor was anything to be ashamed of at all. In fact, I really enjoyed the questioning of the Missionaries a lot.
  • My suitcase has a hole patched with pink duct tape, and I haven't started packing yet. I'm off to Immersion for a week, and I'm feeling a bit anxious!

July 23, 2010

  • Amid procrastination, Survivor.

July 22, 2010

  • More Survivor, which I am enjoying.
  • Immersion documents!

July 21, 2010

  • Critical Library Instruction
  • I started Survivor, which is a bit scandalous (it's the book that Octavia Butler didn't want you to read!)...

July 20, 2010

  • Firebrands, which reminds me of Library Heroes in many ways.
  • Doonesbury compliations, since they were left out on the kitchen table.

July 19, 2010

  • Today was catch-up. I read my notes from HOPE and googled all the things that the hackers had taught me about over the weekend.

July 15-18, 2010

  • These past few days have been devoted to hacking everything from culture to typewriters to toenails.

July 14, 2010

  • Dane Ward, "Re-Visioning Information Literacy for Lifelong Meaning."
    • "We continually experience the world of inner information.

July 11, 2010

  • Today I went over to the dark side, instead of getting a million things done on my to-do, and to-read lists: IRC.

July 10, 2010

  • Finished Clay's Ark and Patternmaster. I think the first two books of the series were more intriguing, but I enjoyed all of them thoroughly and am trying to get a hold of the excluded Survivor, third in the series and which hasn't been reprinted because Octavia Butler didn't like it.
  • Started Alex & Me, after hearing Irene Pepperberg on the Moth (and thought it would be nice to pass on to a certain nonagenarian who has been reading books about birds and their relationships to people lately...)
