February is Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and of course, the month of valentines. We are debuting cryptic crosswords for all of you who love puzzles with our new column 793.73. This month, we are featuring eight clues that challenge readers to identify eight Black authors whose work is worth celebrating. And we are also featuring articles from women co-edit books, find more respectful ways to describe people and their work, want to live in good relationships on Turtle Island, and land the right job because they know how to make the most of the interview process.
What’s new in Open Shelf?: May 2019
How to spread the word … via streaming, a new “tell-all” app or a podcast? This month, we have articles that feature different ways to communicate and thoughts about information and how having more of it can both simplify and complicate our lives. We also share stories about librarians who are helping to change the world (at home and abroad) and taking care of themselves. Plus, our regular Library IT column is back along with another installment of Readers’ Advisory.
And don’t forget to answer our calls for editors, ideas and congrès presentations. Here are the stories, in the order that they appear:
