I mentioned the idea of (re)starting an alumni association in the “50 Ways To Improve FIMS” post a couple days ago. Someone wrote to let me know there is a group that exists online via Western's Purple Cirlces community portal. The MLIS one is called (in very logical fashion) MLIS Alumni Network. I don't think […]
Here is another massive list – “50 Good Things About FIMS” to complete the “95(+5) Theses of FIMS” I started yesterday with my “50 Ways To Improve FIMS” post.
Here is the granddaddy of all library school lists – 50 ways that FIMS could be improved. Some are incredibly simple, small changes; some are pretty significant and maybe even unrealistic (or would require a lot of work and bureaucratic maneuvering which makes them unlikely to happen, even if they are possible.)
I have an idea for another LIS-related list but thought it might be better to (try to) take advantage of the number of students and alumni out there who read this blog to help me generate the list (while it's still mostly a library school blog and before it becomes “Diaper Tale: Yet Another Expectant […]

“Shea” here again: They found Jason frozen in a snow bank tonight along with his ever-present digital camera. This was a photo he took just as he left the bar. The time stamp says 2:39am but I know this is a mistake as he told me he would be home around 8pm or so. The […]
Ha. I think you missed posting today Jason because you didn't make it home from the bar yet! LoveShea
I love looking at my referrer logs to see the search terms that bring people to this blog. Since December 1, that has been phrases such as:“Is+April+the+highest+suicide+month?”“How Long Until I Get My Acceptance Letter from UWO?”“FIMS Porn” Yep, that last one is for real. Somebody out there is looking for “FIMS porn”. The most important […]
