Housework

I realize this blog’s been sort of quiet the past few weeks, but be honest. How many of you are actually checking this every week to see if anything new’s been posted?

I promise this blog will be more active again with the fast-approaching start to the spring semester, with new announcements, new rants, new upcoming events, and of course, new minutes for the spring meetings.

I’m already planning a write-up in preperation of the ARLIS conference in April. (Who’s going?)

Anyway, this is mostly an idea post.

What would YOU like to see for events in the spring semester?

We’ve already discussed a trip to a music library, but what else is of interest to you?

What in the Boston art world inspires you?

Hope everyone’s had a good break, and I’ll see you all soon!

Happy Holidays!

Monday, December 21st, 2009

I admit I have nothing to add. No links right now. No fun things. I have been however reading many entertaining books which have nothing to do with school.

So, I shall have to turn it over to all of you…

What do YOU know that’s happening around Boston the next few weeks? Any cool museum exhibits? Any nifty First Night events? Any fun library adventures?

Or better yet… what books are YOU reading?

Nothing here since before Thanksgiving, which I trust, everyone enjoyed.

Just a few quick annoucements from the the most Listserve posting:

1. GSLIS student Shanna Strunk has asked for me to post this announcement:

I need a friend and/or replacement at the ICA working in the library/archive
under the registrars Janet and Shelby. I hope you will pass this information
along to anyone whom you think will enjoy working at the ICA.

http://www.icaboston.org/about/working-at-the-ica/volunteer/internship/library/

Currently I am working on entering the monographs from the ICA Library into
LibraryThing. Additional projects include cleaning up the printed material
files, updating reference files and preparing for the 75th anniversary in 2011.

2. Amy Deschenes of the GSLIS group ASSIST was hoping to find an arty student
to design a new logo for their group. If you are interested in this volunteer
design opportunity, please email her directly at: amy.deschenes@simmons.edu

ALSO: ARLIS Spring Conference:
The ARLIS/NA 2010 annual conference

Boston, April 23-26

at the Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center.

SAVE THE DATE(S)

(More details to follow.)

Good luck everyone, with the last week of classes, and expect some new exciting posts here in celebration in the days to come.

… Hiya!

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

“Artists in Libraries” post has been updated. Thank you again to Betsy for organizing such a terrific event!

Expect a post in the next day or two with links, and proper annoucements about what to expect for the rest of the semester, as well as some preliminary plans for the spring. Meantime, what would YOU like to see?

Any burning questions you have for Panopticon? Any particular news stories or anecdotes you might like to share?

Meantime, there is this, not exactly library-related, but still very cool.

Hope everyone is surviving the final countdown of the semester, and look for several distractions and the like to come this weekend!
