a few thoughts....Two of the most interesting conversations today* stemmed from a discussion of storytelling as used in magic and also in journalism (not related topics, at least for the purposes of this discussion). I've been trying to think of how to group these together in my mind as in each case the story is used for something beyond the story (in the former to mentally prepare the audience and to conceal the trick; the latter to communicate information).

Library staff including me and Classics Department staff, faculty, and students cataloged the Classics Department Reading Collection. The end result of this highly collaborative and volunteer project was completion of cataloging/adding records for over 2000 titles using the online cataloging/collection management tool, LibraryThing.
