Woman up!

The Haggerty Library at Mount Mary University was very kind to share my post on their blog! It also reminds me that I need to get back to work on this project. My first spring semester at the UC Merced Library has been much busier than I anticipated, which is very nice on one hand.

Archiving the Women's Marches

Happy International Women’s Day! We hope you’re celebrating while on break.

As women’s marches continue this March, leave it to librarians and archivists to start organizing all the content being produced.

Click here to see the beginnings of the Women’s March on Washington Archives Project, which focuses on the historic January march.

Click here to find the Project’s Facebook group and here for their Twitter account.

And here’s one librarian’s handy roundup of interesting articles related to posters from marchers, plus photographs. May we never tire of sharing and marching (unless, you know, we need to, say, on or before January 2020)!

Presidential Reads

I wrote this for the CJCLS Blog. Earlier this week, I wrote about how to promote reading on the CJCLS Blog after we came across some incorrect reading stats that have been widely circulated on social media. Yesterday, a list of all the books President Obama has recommended during his presidency was released. What a great way to promote reading…and a great way to round out that earlier post.

Instruction for Diverse Populations Bibliography

Although I am no longer at a community college, I am finishing my term as a member of the Community and Junior College Libraries Section’s (CJCLS) Communications committee. This is a post I wrote for the CJCLS blog earlier this week. I also wrote a follow-up post that I published this morning. I will be working on another post for the CJCLS Blog during the week of Halloween. I also post these to the CJCLS listserv and the CJCLS Facebook page.
