lower east side librarian

If I don't make this short, I'll never get around to creating this post. I want to welcome to the world two new blogs:

Marginal Mormon Literature by librarian Julie Turley

and

Two Story Sketchbook by Marissa Falco and Sarah Coyne

Welcome to the biblioblogosphere Pumped Librarian Nicole Pagowsky!

I know Nicole from zines and from Radical Reference, where she jumped in right away and started answering questions while in library school. She's got a temp job right now, folks, so you've still got a chance to hire before she gets snapped up by someone else!

In case y'all haven't noticed, Alycia is now blogging on her very own Drupal site. "This site is a place to share information pertinent to my life as a radical art librarian and a place to practice using drupal and monkey with technology from the home base in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn."

Columbia University cataloger Alexandra Crosier has launched a local library events blog, Shelved @ NYC.

Alex provides annotated listings of NYC library news, events, and politics.

Someone posted the link to the Stuff White People Like blog to the NYC Anarchists discussion list. This blog is apt, cruel, and hilarious.

I just noticed that my friend Laura Quilter is blogging, with the creative and appropriate name, "derivative work." Laura is a librarian turned fair use lawyer, and also an expert is feminist science fiction, btw. A post I thought y'all might enjoy is called "The Republican Shuffle." She's gathered information about Republican sex deniers and their sex scandals.

This is another link from my friend Susan--Print Fetish blog. Yum! ...

As I'm painfully slowly trying to recover from the deadly whirlwind of orientation, instruction, and consultations that decimated me at work for late August, September, and most of October, I'm trying to catch up with writing about the twenty or so tabs I keep open in Firefox hoping I'll some day getting around to writing about them. Today's entry is: the ZMedia Librarian blog, which is about alternative media in libraries, particularly zines.
