You don’t want that grad. school if it doesn’t want you!
This for all those who don’t get into the grad. school of their dreams. To you — with love.
Don’t blame yourself that you didn’t get into the grad. school of your dreams. It’s more like you don’t want that grad. school because they’re clearly not right for you!!
They could be too focused on [...]

Thanks to Laura Gibson of lauriegibson.ca (her site views best in IE) for designing my new gorgeous banner for my website.
I LOVE it!!!!
Some of you may have noticed there is still this blog’s title and tagline appearing over the banner. Unfortunately, I can’t stop it without really screwing up the CSS. Believe me, [...]
Greetings world, welcome to my third incarnation!
LaurietheLibrarian.ca has moved again. I just found my old blog software too limiting, although the blood, sweat, and tears that went into learning MySQL, PHP, and WordPress to get this one up and running gave me quite a bit of doubts along the process. But after all is said and done, I’m much happier with [...]

After listening to me repeatedly complain about my blog’s software, a colleague of mine, Brian, suggested I check out WordPress.org. I was hesitant at first and I’ve been procrastinating for months on whether or not to move again. The clincher on why I finally made the choice [...]
Not putting bullet points into a presentation is hard!
I’m trying my hardest to design my presentation for BCLA without using bullet points a la style of Beyond Bullet Points: Using Microsoft PowerPoint to Create Presentations That Inform, Motivate, and Inspire by Cliff Atkinson.
This is hard! Very hard! But I’m trying my darndest!

Yes, LibraryThing can include LC Subject Headings if you want
I am one happy camper right now! The Librarian at LibraryThing.com just informed me that, yes, I can have Library of Congress Subject Headings as part of my book records. It’s a little bit hidden. Go into your account, then go into changing your display style and customize your list by selecting [...]

Dave Pattern is running a really good, very fast online survey about online catalogues (or OPACs in library speak). If you’re as into cataloguing and organizing books as I like to think you are, you’ll find this survey rather cathartic. And the survey sparks some ideas about what you’d like to see in [...]

How many Yukoners have a criminal record? 1 in 3? Yeah, right
I didn’t believe it when I read it on WhatHeSaid.ca but it’s true, at least the part about the CBC reporting that 1 in 3 Yukoners have a criminal record. I don’t know if the supposed fact is true or not. And I certainly don’t even know one person with a criminal record, [...]
