Hey MLISers! Clear your calenders for FRIDAY OCTPBER 20th, the evening of the MLIS Pub Crawl! This is a great chance to meet and mingle with other students in the program over some drinks and merriment. The order of the crawl is: 1) Molly Blooms 8-8:45 2) Martini Bar (upstairs of Mongolian […]
Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whos sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign […]
Did you know that the results of the official, university sanctioned end-of-term feedback sessions are kept on record in the GRC? I did an informal survey recently and not one person out of the dozen or so I asked knew this – not even the ones I was sure would should know about it. […]
Because I can't think of anything else to write, here's one of my favourite songs of the past year or so. (I was going to link to “Wake Up Boo!” by the Boo Radleys which is one of my favourite songs of the past 10 years or so but the video was taken down! Damn […]

If you haven't come across the book, “Revolting Librarians Redux” yet, you really owe it to yourself to pick up a copy. It's got a huge range of essays (plus poems, cartoons and more) on all manner of library-related topics. If nothing else, the Appendix linking different types of librarians to their star signs is […]
I told my in-laws about this blog and now I know that my mother-in-law is reading on a regular basis. So I thought I'd do an entry dedicated to her and my father-in-law.
