A link and some mild amusement

For both the librarian-types and the literary-types: NewPages has a good article on "Why Libraries Should Carry Literary Magazines." (The branch library that I coordinate serves only the School of Library & Information Science and the School of Informatics, so I have no voice in ordering literary stuff. Too bad, because if I did, this article might give me a little backup in doing what I'd want to do anyway.)

Recent searches that have brought people to this blog:
big ass on mammal beach
mammal starting with u (um... unicorn maybe?)
odd sex
"rafael nadal" "hottie"
a woman with a big mammal (well alrighty then!)
On that note, good night.

Anne, this is consistently a really good blog. This morning I cruised over and read a few postings' worth and it's always funny, smart, and entertaining.

Thanks, Garbo! I enjoy writing it. Except I don't even want to know what that person wanted who was googling for "a woman with a big mammal."

(One of my cats is really big. But I don't think that's what they were looking for, somehow.)

Do you like being a librarian? I've applied for a librarian job, though I've only used my MS for computing jobs not library work....I'm really hoping I get the job.

Jilly, someone else (I think it was Suzanne) recently asked me to blog about library/job stuff. I'll try to tackle it this weekend because I have some thoughts on the intersection of librarianship and poetry. Anyway, although I do have my MLS, the job I have now is at a support staff level, not a career librarian position -- that's what happens when you live in a town with a good library school, where MLS's are a dime a dozen. :) But I do like my job. It's the best one I've ever had in many ways. Good luck on the one you are applying for!

Excellent, that was really well explained and helpful
