Reading a lot of the LIS literature so you don't have to since 2005. Here I try to reflect about librarianship, my work, literacy, stuff I read, and a few other academic things. For book reviews and other miscellaneous things, visit my other blog, The Itinerant Librarian.

Como un escolar sencillo,
En el canario amarillo,
Que tiene el ojo tan negro!"-- José MartÃ

On Bringing the Library to Patrons
While this seems mostly applicable to public libraries, it is nonetheless something that everyone in a community should be interested in: how to take library services to those who can't get to the library. The Lethal Librarian links to a post by Michael McGrorty of Library Dust. Not much more I can add after such good piece of writing. The idea suggested by a commenter on McGrorty's blog about the need to continue or make new studies on serving those who cannot reach the library sounds intriguing, and very relevant. Too bad I am not pursuing a PhD; it would be tempting.
