lower east side librarian

The winner of the Lower East Side Librarian LCSH of the Week for Week 5, February 3, 2010 is...

As I said last time, I'm getting a little sick of this exercise, so I'm going to try an abbreviated version. I'll just pick one LCSH from each weekly list and dub it the Lower East Side Librarian LCSH of the Week. Week 4 of 2010's winner is...

The latest Library Journal zine reviews column, Teach a Zine Librarian To Fish: Zine Distro Reviews is up. Thanks to Anastasia, Jerianne, Kelly, and Kelsey for helping out. This marks the first column where I wrote a review myself instead of just editing.

How did I not know that WASPS (PERSONS) was a Library of Congress subject heading. (Or did I? My mind is a sieve sometimes.) The record indicates that the heading was established (or last modified?) in 1986.

UPDATE: Thanks to Johanna, I've realized that these are two different papers. I am pathetic. But so are both newspapers.

The cover of the copy of today's NY Post held here in the Barnard Library:

The cover on their the Daily News website:

Eric Goldhagen and I are leading a hands on preconference workshop (#W11) at Computers in Libraries. It's Sunday, April 11 1:30-4:30 (Thank dog they didn't schedule us for a morning session!) in Washington, DC.

Our original title which they truncated, not without cause, is "Drupal Kitchen: a Hands-on Workshop for Anything from Creating Blog Posts to Overwriting Theme Functions."

I have to admit I'm getting a little sick of this game and also I'm becoming increasingly demoralized about the efficacy of subject headings, even if we could convince the Library of Congress to fucking acknowledge BUTCHES and FEMMES, the FAT ACCEPTANCE MOVEMENT, SEX WORKERS, FREEGANISM, and, for the love of dog, FOLKSONOMY. (See a larger list of Sandy Berman's suggestions if you don't already get the idea.)

But for some reason I can't let go, so here I give you a three for one on LCSH Watch!
