Gypsy Librarian

am hoping to use this as a tool to reflect and learn more about being a librarian and educator. I will likely feature items about librarianship as well as things I read in my other areas of academic interest or of interest as a reader. The idea of the gypsy librarian is really quite simple. In academia, the gypsy scholar is the adjunct college professor without any chance of tenure who teaches at two or three different places to make ends meet (it is way for colleges and universities to get faculty to teach the undergraduate courses the senior professors refuse to teach without actually paying decent salaries). While librarians tend to have a bit more security in terms of jobs, it is not by much for one. Also, a gypsy is a wanderer, and I am a wanderer at heart. As Tolkien wrote, "not all who wander are lost."

Library Technology in Texas

Christine Peterson has been all about library technology for awhile and moved her expertise to the web in December 2004 with her useful blog to help you keep up with the ever-changing onslaught of new technology.

Catalogablog

David Bigwood was ahead of the curve as one of the first Librarians in TX to create a blog (as far as I know). He found a untapped niche in the library world blogsphere in 2002 and plugged in. If you are a cataloger or a reference librarian interested how cataloging effects public services this is a must read daily.
