I got you this review of a magazine that's a month old.
I hope you like it:
- p. 8 - Enlist the New Librarians!
- Article saying that it's important, with all this spunky new grads coming into the business, that we make it a priority to keep them involved in library land after graduation, because they are awesome and digitally native and full of sparkles and whatnot. - p. 12 - U.S. Libraries Move to Adopt RDA Cataloging Code - ASCII is out, RDA is in, though not before 2013. How much will it cost? How will we train folks? How will our systems cope? AIEEEEEE!
- p. 14 - In Pursuit of Carnegie, On a Smaller Scale - Some dudes in Wisconsin are putting together small kiosks--really pole-mounted hutches (24"x24"x30")--that contain 20 books and a sign that says "Take a Book, Leave a Book." It's a pretty cool experiment in social...media?
- p. 16 - Boston, Los Angeles Protect And Expand Service Hours - WOOO! Good news...in other parts of the country, BUT STILL. TO THIS I WILL CLING.
- p. 21 - OCLC App Makes Connections - This visual app via Worldcat.org will show you connections between authors, characters, corporations, etc. Must check it out. (The computer I'm on won't do it because of FLASH issues.)
- p. - - TO BE CONTINUED
