 Best of Publib Current Topics and Archives

This week  in  Best of
Publib<http://bestofpublib.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/this-week-in-best-of-publib-3/>includes
some elegant and thoughtful discussions on collection development,
the value of GSLIS programs and the future of public libraries – some of the
topics we will be reviewing include:

   - Cataloging 9/11 ‘conspiracy’
   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9/11_conspiracy_theories>materials - do
   conspiracy ‘theories’ belong with the official truth, or in their own
   section?
   - H1N1 sanitation redux – handwashing and inhaling in the swine flu
   <http://www.cdc.gov/swineflU/>era – librarians behind the mask.
   - Jobs and People- including many permutations – Favorite Books, Library
   Education, Library Organizational Structure, Library Job Descriptions and
   Ethics<http://www.ala.org/ala/aboutala/offices/oif/statementspols/codeofethics/codeethics.cfm>.

   - Missing the Boat – future  of librarianship/ technology
   <http://www.w3schools.com/SQl/default.asp>skills and the ups and downs of
   the MLS/MLIS – do we know enough?
   - Nuke the Books – will the California  book microwaving trend catch on
   across the US?  An isolated fad or a
recipe<http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Everyday-Cooking/Campus-Cooking/Microwave/Main.aspx>for
disaster?
   - Is this thing on? – some libraries are allowing print reference
   <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_work>to go out – what does this
   mean to circulation and collection provenance?
