]]> Comment on St. Louis Saturday Tomorrow by Chris Pryor http://lisstlouis.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/st-louis-saturday-tomorrow/#comment-12156 Chris Pryor Fri, 14 Sep 2007 22:35:18 +0000 http://lisstlouis.wordpress.com/2007/09/14/st-louis-saturday-tomorrow/#comment-12156 I just wanted to let everyone know that the Green Tree Festival is this weekend in Kirkwood and there is a parade scheduled to begin at 10:30 am tomorrow morning. I found out that the parade route goes down Lindbergh/Kirkwood to Argonne which is north of the tracks. Kaldi's is further south so it should not be impacted by the parade. If you plan on taking Lindbergh/Kirkwood Rd from Highway 40, you may want find an alternate route such as Highway 44. We should have a great discussion and great coffee so please join us!

There's no time like the present to get your resume spiffed up! I’ve attended both previous years of this and highly recommend it, even if you’re not quite job hunting yet.

New students may not know about the blog and we would like to get them reading, commenting, or posting. It's a great way to keep informed and connect with St. Louis students. Not to mention good practice for blogging in a future position. Also would be a good idea to include the blog address on posts to the listserv along with the LISGSA site.

Two comments in the lengthy discussion that followed the blog posting you linked above were particularly insightful. I'll copy them below. ******************************************** on 12 Jul 2007 at 12:43 am # Alsadius Not all book publishers are intellectual-property obsessives - check out the Baen Free Library, at http://www.baen.com/library/ - even if you don’t like the books, the letter on the main page explaining why they’re doing it is plenty worthwhile to this debate. on 12 Jul 2007 at 9:36 am # akg As a previous poster noted, we pay wholesale prices for the books that we purchase for our library. I’d be VERY happy to work out a deal with publishers to pay them some reasonable amount for each circulation, in return for a serious discount off wholesale. ************************************************ Thanks for posting this, Paula.

]]> Comment on About by Gail Keefe http://lisstlouis.wordpress.com/about/#comment-8656 Gail Keefe Tue, 10 Jul 2007 23:28:24 +0000 #comment-8656 I thought I'd let the readers know about Brentwood Public Library's program called Reading Our World. It is a program designed to promote interest in reading and learning about science. The program starts August 1st (7pm) with a science fiction event (Barbara Hambly/book signing) followed by a series of local scientist speakers/authors (e.g. Jeffrey Bonner/director of the Zoo, Ben Abell/Weather man, and speakers on such subjects as dinosaurs, space, emergency medicine, biofuels). The science center will host 4 events at the library and the St. Louis astronomical society will host a telescope viewing in October in the parking lot of the library. The program runs through November. There's more information at Brentwood Public Library's website (http://brentwood.lib.mo.us/. I hope some of you will attend and support this project.

]]> Comment on Job posting: SLU Law Library (Part-time weekend Reference) by Julia http://lisstlouis.wordpress.com/2007/06/14/job-posting-slu-law-library-part-time-weekend-reference/#comment-7095 Julia Sun, 17 Jun 2007 12:15:35 +0000 http://lisstlouis.wordpress.com/2007/06/14/job-posting-slu-law-library-part-time-weekend-reference/#comment-7095 I resemble that remark! I had the pleasure of working at SLU's law library for a few months, filling in for someone who left mid-semester. The staff and students are great. I'd apply for this in a heartbeat if I were still in St. Louis. If you have any questions, please call me at 314-614-4443 or shoot me an e-mail. I resemble that remark!
