For it is the day after Thanksgiving, and Talk of the Nation Science Friday broadcasts the highlights of this year’s Ig Nobel Prizes!

Redecorating
Posted in Life the Universe & Everything on Nov 23rd, 2006
You know, this is probably a sign that I shouldn’t be left alone with a bottle of wine, an internet connection, and a day off. For reasons that are no longer entirely clear to me, I decided to redecorate “Adventures in Library School” this afternoon. Fresher theme, nicer banner. Oh, and widgets. Mmm, widgets (gotta [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Posted in Life the Universe & Everything on Nov 23rd, 2006
To all my family and all my friends (old and new), I wish you the best this Thanksgiving.
Enjoy the day, enjoy the food, enjoy the football if that’s your thing. If you’re spending the day with family and friends, enjoy the company. If you’re flying solo, enjoy the solitude. Relax, laugh, play.
Oh, and to my [...]
The 2006 SIRLS Grad Student Symposium
Posted in Library School, SIRLS Symposium 2006, School, sirlssymposium06 on Nov 20th, 2006
Our second annual graduate student symposium was a rousing success. Although attendance was down from last year, we still had a pretty good sized group of people show up, and the folks who came were all interested and enthusiastic about the presentations. Speaking of presentations, the slides will be up on the LSO website [...]
Showtime!
Posted in School, sirlssymposium06 on Nov 17th, 2006
I expect that most of the Tucson locals reading this already know about the SIRLS Graduate Student Symposium that’s happening tomorrow, but I thought I’d give one last invite. The details about the symposium can be found here: http://www.sir.arizona.edu/lso/symposium06/schedule.htm, and if you’re in town tomorrow, stop by and see us. You don’t have to register, [...]
Playing Hookey
Posted in Life in Tucson on Nov 15th, 2006
I probably shouldn’t have done it - I have a mountain of stuff to do this week that’s roughly the height of K2. But Monday was just one of those gorgeous, perfect days that occasionally comes ’round to Tucson: clear skies, temps in the 70s, light breeze, and it was just too nice to be [...]
If you’re not a football fan you might want to skip this post. And if you’re a Cal fan, you definitely want to skip this post. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
The Arizona Wildcats have not done a great deal to win me over as a fan in the year and a half I’ve been [...]
My Thoughts on Library and Information Science Education
Posted in Librarianship, Library Education, Library School on Nov 9th, 2006
It’s weird sometimes how one topic can pop up in a bunch of different places at once. There’s been a debate going on in my library management class right now about library education, and the real value of the MLS degree. A few of my fellow students (and I’ll admit, I include myself in this [...]
IL06 Wrapup
Posted in IL2006, Internet Librarian 2006 on Nov 7th, 2006
I probably should be doing homework right now, but I’ve been doing that all day and I need to do something else right now. Aaand since the rest of the biblioblogosphere has already blogged the conference sessions much better than I could and in a more timely manner, I’m going to make this my final [...]
Free Time?
Posted in Life the Universe & Everything, School on Nov 5th, 2006
Oh, yeah, I’ve heard about that. That’s that thing that happens to other people….
In the week or so since I’ve been back from Internet Librarian (of which, more shortly), it’s come home to me just how much I have to do during the month of November:
Finish my part of a group project for my Ethics [...]
