In this issue... Who’s Teaching Your Classes? A First-year iSchoolers Guide to the Profs |
Letter From the Editor Greetings Information Students,
Those are just the type of quality stories you can expect from the Silverfish staff this year. When we’re not filling your head with frivolous content, you can expect to hear news about upcoming events, personal experiences from iSchoolers, discussion of library and information science-related issues, and book/movie/concert reviews. Beyond our quarterly issues, you can check out weekly articles and updates on the Silverfish blog. Feel free to contribute pieces and leave comments throughout the school year! New to the Silverfish this year are two features designed to make your life easier and more fun! First, we are introducing an iSchool Calendar (powered by Google) that will track academic and student group events. No more sifting through dozens of e-mails from four or five different listservs – use the ‘fish Calendar to see what’s happening in the iSchool community. Be sure to check out all the events going on over the next few weeks, including SALA's Banned Books event on Oct. 4, and InfoCamp Seattle on Oct. 13-4. Second, we will be sharing the Most Ridiculous Library of Congress Subject Headings (such as “Sit-down dancing” and “Merchant mariner’s spouses”) we can find on a weekly basis. And we invite you to share your unusual discoveries on the blog.
