During the Renaissance, cabinet of curiosities came into fashion as a collection of objects that would often defy classification. As a precursor to the modern museum, the cabinet referred to room(s), not actual furniture, of things that piqued the owners interest and would be collected and displayed in an aesthetically pleasing manner. Collectioun of Cunnynge Curioustes is my 21st century interpretation of that idea.
 
Dear Internet,

The Lisa Chronicles

Cunning Tales from a Systems Librarian

  • Librarian How To: Graphic Novel Collection Development in Academia
  • But what about the MENS?? 
  • About my article in American Libraries on libraries, technology, and gender
  • How To: Free Comic Book Day At Your Library

Listening

  • Anthony Trollope’s Barchester Chronicles – Dr. Throne
    She’s the illegitimate daughter of a blue blood, he’s the wealthy son of a upstart. Will their love ever come to fruition? Will the fates continue to thwart their plans at happiness?
  • The Archers
    I found it way easier to just download the weekly omnibus rather than attempt to catch it every day. Will the sheep scab destroy Brookfield? Will Clarrie ever get over her late-life crisis? How are Pat and Tony going to handle the loss of organic status?
