Librarian as Poet/ Poet as Librarian by Erin Dorney – introduces some poet librarians and discusses their experiences with both roles

Lisa Gold: Research Maven is posting about Thomas Paine on the Bauman Rare Books Blog

At the SPARC blog:  A new report by U.S. PIRG surveyed students about how textbook costs are threatening their performance.

so, I’m giving them to you for safe keeping.  🙂
