With apologies to Mike T. for stealing his t-shirt slogan for a mostly inaccurate blog post title, I just wanted to post a note that I have around 250 unattended messages in my in-box right now and will get to them, hopefully by the end of this week. I don't think there's anything life and […]
(I wonder if that post heading got a few people doing double takes? ) The course selection meeting was this afternoon and even though I'm finished the program in a couple weeks, I thought about going just to hear what the profs said and hang out with some of the students. Then I realised this […]
“Hypothetical reality” is a term I've come up with to describe a lot of the assignments we're asked to do at library school. Unlike an undergrad English program (for example) where you're given an assignment, you do the research and then write a paper in a pretty straight forward manner, something entirely different often happens […]
