Week three

Welcome to the land of Procrastinia, I am their Queen.
(if you would like to join our ranks, please allow me to point out the PBS show Sherlock, a modern update of that Holmes business, which is the best thing on tv that I have seen in months. And I watch a shit ton of tv. Start with "A Study in Pink" http://video.pbs.org/video/1619685888/ Full episode, no commercials, god I love pbs.)

But on to the week three readings

Having read some of Pawley's other work, I was leery of her article for this week's reading, but I found it one of the most readable and compelling of this batch. I had a conservative political science professor who had pointed out the disturbing disconnect between the liberal encouragements of "Promote Diversity" and multiculturalism, and the emphasis on treating everybody the same ("just be nice to everybody" as one of the quoted librarian's in Pawley's introduction put it.

I like how Pawley zeroes in on this from a completely different direction, and how it affects library work, but more importantly (especially from our perspective) how it affects library training. I only wish she had gone into more specifics.
