Assignment One was frustrating for me because my memory
failed me. I knew the books, but couldn’t think of titles. It may have had
something to do with coming back from a long vacation and my brain was still
catching up! Although, that is definitely not the cover of The Catcher in the
Rye that I remember.
Assignments 2 and 3 went much more smoothly. It is fun to
realize that you can really judge a book by its cover – at least in most cases.
The Golden Rules reinforced much of what we know, but I did like the idea of “inviting
the reader back.” I think it’s cool to for librarians to think of themselves as
personal shoppers and create relationships with their customers.
I chose to check in on Salon.com and Tor.com. I chose Salon
because I have always appreciated things I’ve read from that site, but don’t
check it regularly. I chose Tor because of my appalling lack of knowledge of
all things science fiction. I’m hoping this will help understand the genre and
the multitude of sub-genres.
