  • Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature
    PAYING ATTENTION TO PUBLIC READERS OF CANADIAN LITERATURE: POPULAR GENRE SYSTEMS, PUBLICS, AND CANONS by KATHRYN GRAFTON BA, The University of British Columbia, 1992 MPhil, University of Stirling, 1994 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2010 © Kathryn Grafton, 2010 ABSTRACT Paying Attention to Public Readers of Canadian Literature examines contemporary moments when Canadian literature has been canonized in the context of popular reading programs. I investigate the canonical agency of public readers who participate in these programs: readers acting in a non-professional capacity who speak and write publicly about their reading experiences. I argue that contemporary popular canons are discursive spaces whose constitution depends upon public readers. My work resists the common critique that these reading programs and their canons produce a mass of readers who read the same work at the same time in the same way. To demonstrate that public readers are canon-makers, I offer a genre approach to contemporary canons that draws upon literary and new rhetorical genre theory. I contend in Chapter One that canons are discursive spaces comprised of public literary texts and public texts about literature, including those produced by readers. I study the intertextual dynamics of canons through Michael Warner’s theory of publics and Anne Freadman’s concept of “uptake.” Canons arise from genre systems that are constituted to respond to exigencies readily recognized by many readers, motivating some to participate. I argue that public readers’ agency lies in the contingent ways they select and interpret a literary work while taking up and instantiating a canonizing genre.

  • July / August / September 2013 Vol. 49, No. 2
    July / August / September 2013 Vol. 49, No. 2 FROM THE DESK OF THE STATE LIBRARIAN.....In June, the first group of New Hampshire libraries began their migration to a nhaisLOCAL automation system. nhaisLOCAL is a program established by the State Library in response to the need for good integrated library systems at a reasonable price. nhaisLOCAL uses open source automation software called KOHA, which was developed in New Zealand in 2000. With the assistance of a service provider, ByWater Solutions, the State Library's NHAIS Services Section helped the public libraries in Colebrook, Danville, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Tuftonboro and Warner to move to an open source ILS. Over three days in June at the Hooksett Public Library, thirty people from this first group of libraries trained on the new system and developed their policies for the nhaisLOCAL KOHA system. The libraries went live with the new ILS in July. The group has embraced the new system, and although there have been some fits and starts during the transition, I have heard that the libraries are glad they made the move to a more robust system that has by its nature the ability to meet the needs of their libraries. Currently, about 15 librar- ies in New Hampshire have chosen open source software for their most recent ILS acquisition. Although the majority of systems in place in New Hampshire public libraries are in fact proprietary and work well for those li- braries, the goal of the nhaisLOCAL project is to provide another avenue for libraries that may not want to use proprietary software or are just interested in the open source concept.

As I searched through the old town and city reports and the vertical file information in the Concord Room, it became apparent that there were at least six distinct sections to the library’s history – the creation up to 1857, the early years to 1895 (40th anniversary of its establishment), the forty years of 1895-1935 during which Grace Blanchard was the city librarian, a new era beginning in 1935 when the current library building was conceived and built, the computer age starting in 1980, and, of course, entering the twenty-first century.
