Week 50 on LCSH Watch 2009:
I could probably write a 2,000 word review of this book, since it's on a topic so close to my heart, but I'll spare you. I made way too many margin notes anyway! As I said in regard to her article Why Zines Matter in American Periodicals, Piepmeier handles the zines vs. blogs argument and the materiality of zines with great finesse. She has truly changed the way I look at—and describe—zines, which is a big deal since I catalog and teach the suckers.

If I don't make this short, I'll never get around to creating this post. I want to welcome to the world two new blogs:
Marginal Mormon Literature by librarian Julie Turley
and
Two Story Sketchbook by Marissa Falco and Sarah Coyne
I just cataloged a zine to which I wish I could have assigned the subject headings FEMME IDENTITY and FEMMES.
Femmes Unite contains short essays by male, female, and genderqueer (another heading I'd like to see!) femmes on topics including but not limited to...
If you're paying much closer attention to my reviews than I think you are, you will recall that I gave a thumbs up to Anchee Min's coming of age in China during the Cultural Revolution story, Wild Ginger, back in July ought eight. Red Azalea covers similar territory, but this time it's openly autobiographical.
You can now order a copy of The Borough Is My Library, the zine Alycia Sellie created for the Desk Set Biblioball 2009.
With its three color silkscreen cover, it's a bargain at $3-7 sliding scale, and proceeds will go to Literacy for Incarcerated Teens.
What if Red Riding Hood's wolf was actually a werewolf and Red Riding Hood vowed revenge against the bad doggie who ate her grandma? That's more or less the story Ms. Pearce tells, except that Red Riding Hood is actually sisters, one a fighter and one a lover.
Do I look any different?
I, well actually most Eric, updated my site last night to Drupal 6. Please let me know if anything seems weird, broken, or missing.
I think most of the changes are administrative; i.e. y'all shouldn't notice them.
