The Kind of Cook I’m Not | Library &

https://libraryand.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/the-kind-of-cook-im-not

The Kind of Cook I’m Not. July 8, 2015. July 2, 2015. I came across this essay. Via the Wednesday Chef. And it made me wonder: am I a good-enough cook, or a show-off? 8220;If reading is always good, and cooking is only good sometimes, why not just always read? 8221; What kind of cook. Well, I know what kind of cook I am not…. 1 The spontaneous kind: Want to come over for dinner? Great how’s next Thursday? Oh, I suppose I. 3 The spendthrift kind: I’m a typical Yankee penny-pincher, happy to plan an ...

Hopes & Dreams | Library &

https://libraryand.wordpress.com/2015/07/16/hopes-dreams

July 16, 2015. July 16, 2015. I have a friend who celebrates the birthdays of people she loves by exhorting them (typically in the face of much resistance) to share their hopes and dreams for the year to come. In the short time I’ve known her, the ritual has become so ingrained that even when she’s not around to ask, I dutifully make my list. Been good about visiting in the past year. Carolyn and I come home from every trip saying it’s not that hard! And we can do this more often! As for dreamswe’ve just...

Spiritual Librarian | Library &

https://libraryand.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/spiritual-librarian

July 25, 2015. At the busiest point in my internship at the MIT Work-Life Center. A friend asked if I’d be interested in organizing the lending library at First Church Somerville. Another small collection built around topics I found compelling and challenging, in need of some quasi-professional librarian love? Could they give me a few months to finish my internship and my semester? The church’s pastor, Reverend Molly. I had significantly less subject knowledge to support my cataloging decisions with this...

Teaching a Stone to Talk. Page 34) it’s just that my “one necessity” has never been singular or stable enough for me to grasp it. (I’ve also heard my generalist tendencies described as multipotentiality. But I cannot bring myself to embrace the neologism.). Indeed but for me, it would be disingenuous, at this stage, to isolate them. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

Digging a Well | Library &

https://libraryand.wordpress.com/2014/10/14/digging-a-well

October 14, 2014. October 14, 2014. Five years ago this fall, I spent four months volunteering at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health. Volunteer program is pretty much the best deal on earth. Volunteers work 35 hours per week in exchange for (nearly) free room and board, plus all the yoga classes and wellness workshops they can cram into their schedules. My work assignment, or. And practicing yoga both on and off. The mat (their cheesy phrase, not mine). It’s hard to live at Kripalu for four. Reasons ...

RA Summer Camp | Library &

https://libraryand.wordpress.com/2015/08/12/ra-summer-camp

August 12, 2015. The goal of RA is to hit the bull’s eye of a perfect book recommendation, but the target is always shifting. Your stance affects your aim, of course, and so does the timing. (I recall the very specific fatigue caused by shooting arrow after arrow: sore fingertips, wobbly elbows.) In RA Archery, campers will practice lining up a shot (“what do you have that’s like. Like the author of this article. Using a different color for each doorway; what better way to represent their interdependence?

Work-Life Library | Library &

https://libraryand.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/work-life-library

March 21, 2015. March 20, 2015. While I was in library school, I spent a semester interning at the MIT Work-Life Center. A book about divorce might cover its impact on the family (current keyword family crisis ), but also touch on shared custody (revised keyword family diversity ), dating (new keyword relationships ), and discipline issues (revised scope keyword parenting ). [Okay, so “scope” may have been on the jargon-y side.]. At Smith will probably need someone to build a library someday, right?

Epistolary Reader’s Shelf. August 4, 2015. Runs a column called “The Reader’s Shelf,” edited by readers’ advisory guru Neal Wyatt, that is simply an annotated list of six books with a common subject, genre, or other key element. My friend and fellow librarian Jenny Arch. And I collaborated on a guest column with an epistolary theme that has just been published in the August issue of the magazine and online. What’s the first thing you remember? Series. These six books are gorgeous works of art that I ...

I decided that I wanted to be a librarian about a year too late to be able to go straight from college to library school. Thank. I was a better grad student and I’m a better librarian because of what I did in between. This two-page resume. Includes that interim experience, while this one. Is tailored more narrowly to library work. Here’s a quick overview of my life in libraries, with links to further information on a few items:. I’m a graduate of the Simmons School of Library and Information Science.
