Lower East Side Librarian

List 32 August 6, 2008

Of expatriates, heroes, superheroes, lifeguards, weird architects, and health insurance...

From the January 9, 1970 edition of the UWM (University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee) Post.

I was so welcomed by Flickr a few months ago. Heh.

Library of Congress Subject Headings Weekly List 30 (July 23, 2008) and 31 (July 30, 2008).

In which I thank the Library of Congress for giving me my reproductive rights! And other fun and useful new authorities.

Sadly, the LiveJournal lolbrarians community has been pretty quiet since the initial bunch of posts.

Happily, the posts that do go up are generally awesome.

Bitch magazine is looking for a Program Director.

Great publication, great town (Portland, OR), great people, living wage ($36,680*) and medical/dental/vision. I'm half tempted to apply for it myself, not that I'm qualified.

The 5th FREE drupal camp is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday September 13 and 14th.

According to this MainStreet post I originally saw on LISNews the book release Breaking Dawn is a pretty big deal.

Sadly, while that's true at libraries in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, and at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, and while the book release inspired a long wiki post and discussion list brainstorming session, my own branch of NYPL is sadly lacking.

The Big She-Bang 3 at ABC No Rio
Saturday, August 9

"The Big She Bang is an all-day event of workshops, panel discussions, visual art, and music by and for womyn and womyn identified artists & community members."

11am-9:30pm
(You might need a MySpace account to view their schedule, but that's the only place I see it.)

ALA has a build your own READ poster gizmo, which I saw on The Shifted Librarian.

They give you four choices of backgrounds, and bizarrely, the one I liked best was "Americana."
