Ah, excellent that you got all of this under the wire. And, yes, I’m very fond of the Cornell Witchcraft collection…. though I don’t really want to know exactly why you happened to associate those particular things with me!

Very cool collection. Once upon a time there was a board game entitled Life based on the magazine. I cannot remember much about the game as I never really played it except for the box of pictures that were to be used during the game. I do not know where that box of pictures is now, but I remeber looking thoufgh them and thinking they were neat and that they were an expression of our history.

Yes! Woolaroc is a great place and getting even better! Have you also seen Frank and Jane Phillips townhome — a 26-room mansion in downtown Bartlesville? It is open for tours Wed-Sat and is like stepping back in time with original furnishings and tour guides that tell stories of the Phillips family as you visit each room.

Congratulations on passing comps! Now you really *are* entitled to wear the teeshirt. (Too bad you couldn’t find one that says “I Survived Comps 2008″)

I too am wondering if there has been challenges to digital collections. The International Children’s Digital Library has some content that seems offensive for certain age groups or populations.

The issue of copyright might be more prominant. It is so easy to add a link to other digital collections without thinking about ownership. The Library of Congress has several digital collections and they use Open Archives Initiative and have links that are for the most part free of copyright. However, they still have a link for copyright and legal notices for anyone who wishes to use a link for a digital collection or any other reproduction. Thanks for posting this blog and I know your research will produce something soon!

I read the post and it made me mad too. Mr. Hoven is probably one of those people who asks library students “You have to have a master’s degree for that?” which always makes me mad. I don’t think he understands a thing about our field. Thanks for posting the link!
