October Events
This is me immodestly promoting two events at which I'll be speaking. One of them specifically asked me to, so I'm not entirely betraying the library code of anonymous servitude. The first is the NY Art Book Fair, where Alycia Sellie, Susan Thomas, and I will be talking about zines in libraries.

International Zine Library Conference: participating libraries
I am in Poitiers, France for an International Zine Libraries conference. That's Poitiers, not Paris. There are other cities in France, you know! As the founder of the Fanzinothèque here said in our meeting yesterday, the Fanzinothèque perhaps survived because it is here, not Paris, "Fuck Paris." Following is some basic info about the participating institutions.

For those attending the Association of College and Research Libraries conference in Seattle, and those who live in/near Seattle...
Archiving Women Report Back
Archiving Women was a one-day conference "bringing together scholars and archivists to examine feminist practices in the archive."
If I were a little more organized, I could share my notes, but unfortunately they're gone. Instead I'm going to bring up three different threads that for me characterized the event. They are preservation vs. privacy, the de-emphasis of the practitioner, and notable vs. common lives.
PS My presentation.
SCSU Women's Conference Report Back
This past weekend I attended the Southern Connecticut State University's 18th Annual Women's Studies Conference, participating on a panel with Kate Eichhorn and Kelly Wooten.
Sessions I went to:
- Negotiating Authority and Voice in a Feminist Girls' School
- Zines and Magazines: Girls Resisting and Mainstreaming
- Dinner performances: including Flamenco documentary about three young women, two of whom were Barnard students
- For Colored Girls, Track 1: "The ABC's of Colored Girls"
- Lunch performances: including SOLHOT
- Grrrls in the Library: Documenting Third Wave Feminist Activism through Zines
Plus I had some random thoughts.

Drupal Camp report back
This weekend I attended Drupal Camp, organized by the New York City Drupal Gommunity, including and especially my spouse Eric.
My overall feeling is that it was great to see such a large and motivated group in action--providing two days of training and peer learning, friggin' delicious bagels, and pizza, all for free.

Annoyed at Anaheim
I didn't go to the ALA Annual Conference this year, a decision I made based on its location in Anaheim. I wasn't going to bother making a whole blog post complaining about it, but then I saw the Annoyed Librarian's post, and thought at the very least I'd do a "What she said."
