The new issue of Kairos is out, and it’s a good one. Of particular interest to some of my librarian peers, for whom I have much respect and whose scholarship I wish my discipline would more fully engage in conversation, might be James Purdy and Joyce Walker’s remarkable and compelling essay, “Digital Breadcrumbs: Case Studies of Online Research.”
Good stuff from my perspective, and I’m curious to hear what those respected expert peers might say.
Of Possible Librarian Interest
Thanks! I passed this around to some librarian friends, including LIS professors and doctoral students. ALA’s mid-winter meeting is this week (thus, many people aren’t around), but so far I’ve heard back from one professor who teaches online reference who might use it in her online reference services course. (For the record, I have an MLS but I’m not a librarian – I’m a PhD candidate in comp-rhet)
Thanks, k8, and I hope other readers (perhaps even A and D, those rock-star librarians) might even be inclined to opine. And I love your blog’s conflicted classical reference — you’ve gained a reader.
Thanks! I was in a peevish mood when I named it, but it does say something about my frames of reference.
