Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Tuesday, 29 July 2008. Site 13: University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. July 22, 2008. Glasgow - it's the real Scotland. Edinburgh, it's Disney Scotland." - Dr. David McMenemy, Information and Library Studies Professor. These Scots, they sure know their way to our graduate-student-starved hearts.).

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 3: The Poetry Library

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-3-poetry-library.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Saturday, 12 July 2008. Site 3: The Poetry Library. July 9, 2008. While it is not my intent to focus on Woolf's poetry, I do like that I am in a public library with open shelf access; it's a freedom, really, that I'd taken for granted. I take my time walking through the stacks, taking stock of the building for the first time. The poetry library homepage. The remainder of library information on background and content is pretty standard for libraries: providing servic...

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 7: National Art Gallery Library

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-7-national-art-gallery-library.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Tuesday, 15 July 2008. Site 7: National Art Gallery Library. July 15, 2008. Our guide for the National Art Library is Frances. She's brisk, and it's a trait she sticks to for the remainder of our tour - which is not to say it's a failing, per se, but certainly a challenge for my less-than-nimble fingers. I'm up for it - I hope. With Dicken's own impossibly neat notes. However strong the desire is to photograph to my geeky heart's content, the librarian in me com...

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 6: Museum of London

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-6-museum-of-london.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Tuesday, 15 July 2008. Site 6: Museum of London. July 14, 2008. What do you think of when you hear the word, 'prehistoric'? I must admit that when I think on the term "prehistory," I am not on Jon's wavelength, but Steven Spielberg's, unfortunately; watching Jurassic Park. Did English-speaking missionaries bring, along with religion and language and a much stricter dress code - did they bring history to these islands? Most visitors, Jon begins, are interested in thr...

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 10: The Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-10-shakespeare-centre-library-and.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Saturday, 19 July 2008. Site 10: The Shakespeare Centre Library and Archive. July 18, 2008. The rooftops of Stratford upon Avon). Four in the afternoon. Not that I'm casting generalizations about town. It's just that after viewing the library, which was amazing, amazing, amazing - returning outside to rain and vomit, it's pretty much a let down. So I'm going to return indoors, back to the library, where I should've started in the first place. Also: going to my head?

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 9: The Bodleian Library

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-9-bodleian-library.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Thursday, 17 July 2008. Site 9: The Bodleian Library. July 17, 2008. I feel as if I should start off with a grand statement because the Bodleian Library, it's like The Big One. The one I've heard most about from my professors, quoted in movies and film, and it's at Oxford University, for heaven's sake. The stakes are set sky high. Enter Sir Thomas Bodley in the late 1500s: a rich and educated gentleman, Bodley was more to the point, a philanthropist. He donated ...

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 15: Trinity University Old Library

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-15-trinity-university-old-library.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Tuesday, 29 July 2008. Site 15: Trinity University Old Library. July 29, 2008. Anyway, I am meandering (as I do) from my purpose of this visit. Just what is so great about Trinity's library? But well-backed, considering the prominent authors that came out of the college: Swift, Beckett, Wilde, Stoker, et al. Students and fellows were expected to use the facilities for more than what privilege entitled them? I never really had a sense before having set foot on Irish ...

Arrange whatever pieces come your way: Site 8: National Maritime Museum Library

http://library-trek.blogspot.com/2008/07/site-8-national-maritime-museum-library.html

Arrange whatever pieces come your way. Thursday, 17 July 2008. Site 8: National Maritime Museum Library. July 16, 2008. To Greenwich, by water.). And a really cool display of ocean liners through history, I've come to appreciate the varied facets "maritime" encompasses. And so thank you, National Maritime Museum. You've shattered all of my biases, and I haven't even set foot inside. Splitting our class in half, I get to hear Mike's spiel first, and many of the books are fascinating, both in content and c...
