Metaphors and Threshold Concepts for Research — Katie Day
I asked the audience at Research Relevance to suggest new metaphors -- and here are some responses: a search engine like Google is like "trail mix" - returning results include some M&Ms, some raisins, some peanuts - while a database is like a whole bag of M&Ms -- all good resultsa group project is like a music quartet - each contributing to the whole beautiful sounda database is like a bathtub filled with water for a particular size and purpose, while Google is like a river, whose flow is unpredictable and aimless I particularly like (the dead white male professor) Kenneth Burke's description of the metaphor of the "unending conversation" of academic discourse -> "Imagine that you enter a parlor. You come late. Debbie and Sue spoke about giving students three information sources in three different arenas: e.g., a tweet, a newspaper, and a journal -- by the same author (e.g., Michael Kraus). I caution students that their biggest danger is not finding the (right?

Chères et chers libraires, Le gouvernement a décidé de faire passer le taux de la TVA sur le livre de 5,5 % à 7 % à partir du 1er avril 2012. Cette mesure est injuste, dérisoire, dangereuse et absurde. Dans ce contexte, et parce que nous sommes convaincus de la nécessité de maintenir une politique de prix bas pour le livre, nous, les éditions le passager clandestin (www.lepassagerclandestin.fr), refusons d’augmenter nos prix de vente pour ne pas pénaliser nos lecteurs, qui sont souvent des jeunes ou des personnes aux revenus modestes. À partir du 1er avril, nos prix HT vont donc baisser afin de maintenir à niveau constant nos prix TTC. Ce choix politique, nous en assumerons entièrement le coût. Afin que les librairies qui travaillent avec notre maison d’édition n’aient pas à supporter le coût de cette transition, nous avons donc décidé de vous offrir des titres de notre catalogue de manière à compenser intégralement cette baisse de marge.

23 Great Library Blogs
Let’s say that you are a school librarian, and let’s say you’ve decided that like many of the teachers in your school, you too are ready to use a blog to connect with parents and students, to share your latest news and events, or perhaps to develop your own personal learning network (PLN). You’re motivated and ready to begin, but you may have some lingering questions about the best way to get started and maybe you’re not entirely sure how to organize your new blog. Unfortunately, searching the internet for “how to create a great library blog” doesn’t yield many helpful answers. There are some sites that come up in that search that appear useful, but overall it seems to make more sense to just visit library blogs, see what works and what doesn’t, and craft your blog around the ideas you like the best. To make that process easier, we’ve compiled a list of library blogs on Edublogs. Library & Librarian Blogs Know of any library blogs on Edublogs that we should add to this list? Related
