International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions Katharine L. Sharp and the first “Lady Librarians” Denise Rayman writes: “For an educated woman at the turn of the century, there were few options for an intellectually satisfying career, as Katharine L. Sharp (third in the lineup) discovered as a newly minted college graduate in 1885. She taught foreign languages at a high school in Illinois for two years, but then she took a position as assistant librarian at the Scoville Institute in Oak Park, Illinois, and seems to have found her calling. Believing strongly in the new field of professional librarianship, she enrolled in the New York State Library School in 1889, where she studied under Melvil Dewey.”...

I need our associations strong so they can advocate The Unnamable II: for me and for all libraries and our services. We stand together far The Statement of more strongly than when we stand alone.

Randolph Carter (Mark Kinsey Go back to the Top Stephenson) and Eliot Howard (Charles Klausmeyer) look for missing pages of the Necronomicon in the rare book room of the Miskatonic University library in order to defeat a demon that is chasing them. Featured review: Adult nonfiction Garrett, Bradley L. Explore Everything: Place- Hacking the City. Oct. 2013. 320p. Illustrated. Verso, hardcover (978-1-78168- 129-5). “Dr. Garrett?” asked the British police officer who boarded the plane as soon as it landed at Heathrow. The American-expat Oxford researcher was about to be arrested for his trespassing exploits. He meant no harm. The Unquiet Library Quite the opposite. Garrett and his fellow (1986). This urban explorers celebrate forgotten places and protest limits documentary looks at on access. In this unique and electrifying travelogue, Garrett, the decades-long a scholar with a background in anthropology and archeology, involvement of the thoughtfully explicates their dangerous, exhilarating, and illegal Library of Congress in explorations. We picture hackers as loners slouched anemically the making, in the sickly light of a computer screen, but Garrett and his performing, recording, fellow travelers are as fit, agile, and fearless as ninja. Sharing and preservation of an ethos with street artists, their mission is to “exploit music. The retired fractures in the architecture of the city in an effort to find chief of the Music deeper meaning in the spaces we pass through every day.”...

We’re not advocating abandoning actual travel and substituting it exclusively with travel reading, but there is a time and place for simply sitting back and living vicariously through someone else’s adventures.

  • ENDER's GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third
    ENDER'S GAME by Orson Scott Card Chapter 1 -- Third "I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and tell you he's the one. Or at least as close as we're going to get." "That's what you said about the brother." "The brother tested out impossible. For other reasons. Nothing to do with his ability." "Same with the sister. And there are doubts about him. He's too malleable. Too willing to submerge himself in someone else's will." "Not if the other person is his enemy." "So what do we do? Surround him with enemies all the time?" "If we have to." "I thought you said you liked this kid." "If the buggers get him, they'll make me look like his favorite uncle." "All right. We're saving the world, after all. Take him." *** The monitor lady smiled very nicely and tousled his hair and said, "Andrew, I suppose by now you're just absolutely sick of having that horrid monitor. Well, I have good news for you. That monitor is going to come out today. We're going to just take it right out, and it won't hurt a bit." Ender nodded. It was a lie, of course, that it wouldn't hurt a bit. But since adults always said it when it was going to hurt, he could count on that statement as an accurate prediction of the future. Sometimes lies were more dependable than the truth. "So if you'll just come over here, Andrew, just sit right up here on the examining table.

  • Report to Congress on Gawker Media
    Report To Congress On Gawker Media An Investigation Into The Illicit Character Assassination Services Provided By Nick Denton And Gawker Media Volume 1 1 Overview Financial records, stock holdings, off-shore bank records, tax haven routing, emails, inter-party communications, PAC records, credit card records, advertising contracts and personnel records; implicate Gawker Media and campaign financiers in a clear effort to subvert the processes of Democracy. By using public resources, enhanced by tax advantages, facilities and public utility tools to manipulate public perceptions, and to attack and damage taxpaying members of the public, Nick Denton and Gawker Media have created a blight upon the public policy system, and the public communications system, of the nation, and the world. By creating an unfair system of retribution, vindictiveness and vendetta, exclusive to Gawker Media, which provides no reasonable option, nor affordable measure, for the public to counter-measure Gawker’s attacks; Gawker is violating the Constitutional and Human Rights of American citizens. Gawker Media has taken money and resources from third parties for whom Gawker Media then produced coordinated character and brand assassination attacks that harmed, or destroyed, American industry and American taxpayers. While the press may certainly have the rights to free speech and freedom of the press, the public has a reasonable expectation of security, privacy and avoidance from terrorism by that press. Nick Denton and Gawker Media have certainly engaged in terrorism

    Syllabus developed as part of Mapping for the Urban Humanities course, Summer 2016 Center for Spatial Research, Columbia University Anupama Rao 226 LeFrak Center, Barnard Hall [email protected] Office hours: W 2-4PM Rachael Dottle, [email protected], from Barnard’s Empirical Reasoning Lab will ourdedicated GIS Graduate Assistant for this course BC 3830: Bombay/Mumbai and its Urban Imaginaries (Fall 2016) PLEASE NOTE: This course requires willingness to work collectively and collaboratively. In addition to learning about the colonial and postcolonial history of a major metropolis, you will master basic spatial mapping techniques through online tutorials and in consultation with the spatial data librarian at Butler, and the Empirical Reasoning Lab (Barnard). The course is likely to involve a significant time commitment. Bombay/Mumbai’s built form reflects the social and spatial uneven-ness of (colonial) capital, while its distinctive urbanity is the product of the everyday lives and aspirations of those who inhabit it. When was Bombay? Bombay’s transformation from an early-modern port city to British India’s commercial and manufacturing hub (and now, megacity) is linked with global economic forces: the city experienced meteoric rise in the aftermath of the American Civil War due to a booming cotton economy. New technologies for rationalizing production and accelerating the circulation of Bombay cotton soon followed. Meanwhile, the plague of 1897 provided planners and government officials with an alibi for mass demolitions, and enabled them to undertake extensive experiments in urban governance and industrial housing. Bombay’s famed cosmopolitanism is thus a vestige of social practices and cultural experiences produced by the contradictory forces of colonial capital: spatial regulation, together with social emancipation.
