@fuzzyleapfrog Feine Sache, danke!
Ich hab eine etwas allgemeinere Frage bezüglich aktueller Umbrüche/ Diskussionen über digitale und physische Sammlungen bzw. Bereitstellung. Die Funktion von Bibliotheken wandelt sich ja bereits.
Gibt es in "der Bibliothekswelt" (TM) Leute, die von der baldigen Obsoletheit des gedruckten Buchs ausgehen? Wird sowas diskutiert? Hat sowas bereits Einfluss darauf, wie Bibliotheken geführt werden? -

Okay, wie wäre das: Ihr stellt eure Fragen zu Bibliotheken, Bibliothekstypen, ihren Aufgaben, ihren Prozessen, unserem Arbeitsalltag, Studiumsinhalten und allem was euch unter den Nägeln brennt und ich oder auch gerne wir, wenn andere Bibliotheksmenschen auch Lust haben, versuchen euch zu antworten? Ganz sicher weiß ich da nicht alles, aber zumindest Hinweise geben und aufzeigen wo man mehr erfahren kann, kriege ich hin. #askalibrarian

#Book/#info request!
I'm looking for an art book or other resources about HIV/AIDS art, especially art done by groups like ACT UP & works about inadequate government response.
(Open to other illness art topics as well, but this feels most immediately relevant.)I raided my library with the help of a very cool nonbinary librarian. We found a PILE of semi-related resources, but most only have 1-4 pages on the subject as part of other queer history or activism art texts.

i was researching how breadfruit trees were moved around the world by colonials and came across this quote on the wikipedia entry for william bligh: "In order to win a premium offered by the Royal Society, he first sailed to Tahiti to obtain breadfruit trees"
it's not the first time i've seen references to royal society competitions/prizes/quests and i'd like to learn more about this subject.
but the histories of the royal society that i've come across so far have been in that sort of "heroic colonial"/"great man" mode.
i'm looking for something that's more along the lines of "what role did the royal society have to play in the movement of plants and other organisms?" it seems like they were putting out these "challenges" for "explorers", but that's where my knowledge ends.
i'd also be happy to read a book that's about the role of the royal society in empire-building & colonialism in general.
thank you in advance!
i'm tagging a bunch of stuff in the hopes that someone might be able to direct me: #STS #ScienceStudies #HistoryOfScience #CulturalAnthropology #plants #colonialism #SaturdayLibrarian #AskALibrarian #BotanyHistory #ColonialHistory #HistoryOfEmpire #CulturalStudies

@TheLordChiefRockaNumberOne It depends on what type of books you prefer already! If you're already a fan of crime novels, then OUT OF SIGHT is my suggestion. If you love Westerns, HOMBRE. If you aren't already super into either genre, you should give KILLSHOT a try!

@apparentlyrolly Oh R, you're a person after my own heart!
So this is a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, but A PSALM FOR THE WILD-BUILT by Becky Chambers is a balm for the soul. And it's a short book, too, perfect for those of us with TBRs that reach to space.
THE RUTHLESS LADY'S GUIDE TO WIZARDRY by C. M. Waggoner has a romantic subplot, but is a cozy (if a little oddball) read.
In a more magical realism direction, we have THE CAT WHO SAVED BOOKS by Sosuke Natsukawa. It's adorable and extremely comforting.
This one isn't fantasy at all, but if I'm reading you correctly, I think you would love THE DAYS OF ANNA MADRIGAL by Armistead Maupin. It's the last book in the series, but it's also one of those series where each book stands alone, so not to fear that you're jumping in at the end.

@coffeentacos If you haven't read ANNIHILATION by Jeff VanderMeer, you absolutely must give it a try. Shorter sci fi horror with a similar suspenseful and compelling writing style to Starling, but it is pretty divisive in the sci fi community because it leans more toward horror.
I also have to recommend IN SPACE NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM, edited by Hank Davis. Lots of short stories by sci fi and fantasy greats, all aimed at bringing that terror.
Books that are larger but I think you would also enjoy: SALVATION DAY by Kali Wallace (cw world-ending viruses) and WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE by Lena Nguyen.

Would y'all like it if I did weekly tailored book recommendations based on your interests? Like you tell me a vibe/style you're interested in, and I give you specific books to check out? #AskALibrarian #BookRecommendations

@philip_cardella @histodons Walk into the Library. Talk w the Librarians. Ask questions about the subject matter resources available in areas of interest to her. Are there retrospective collections in print or just online - this will be very important for research pre internet. Also, its all about the collection and the people - not the "architecture." “Google can bring you back 100,000 answers...
