I am from Spain so please forgave my speaking english...

Laura comments on Weed!

I've been pulling loads of books off the shelves for 11 years and am still finding things that make me gasp. The challenge with weeding is that it needs to happen constantly. My goal is to have my fiction shelves filled with books that I want to hand to children, and to eventually get to a place where most of the discarding is due to books being really worn.

How do you suggest starting to get published? What journals, newsletters, etc. publish articles from "regular" media specialists?

Thanks, Fred. Typo corrected, I think.

Good encouragement. I especially liked the first point--there is so much that I've thought to write down as I was working it out and failed to do so...and that would be very helpful to have available now.

You have a typo in your second paragraph (the short one) : "There are a number of pretty good reasons I why write..."
Cheers, Fred

I appreciate your straightforwardness. It really is about "just in time," not "just in case." Thanks!

Under Collection size, you ask if there has been a baseline set for the size of the print collection. I'm having trouble finding guidelines for this. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Jenn T. comments on X-files: a Computer Jinx

I'm not sure if this particular journal entry is a joke, but the issue is no laughing matter. Replacing computers, phones (both cell & landline), breaker boxes, appliances and televisions, not to mention the constant discomfort of getting shocked and shocking others, is a real downer--plus, it's very, very expensive. For people with this problem (some sites call them "SLI-ders" or "electric people"), buying anything with a power cord or battery is pointless because it'll fry in no time for no reason. From what I've gathered from your site, if this "technology jinx" thing is real, the only recourse is to spray yourself with static guard, wear a grounding chain or magnetic bracelet, and use a humidifier (I live in the South... it's pretty darn humid here). Am I missing any other solutions? It seems to be getting worse as I get older. Please advise.
