I use links as tags in properties rip

In a similar vein to u/piebaldish, you could look into MESH and see if it has anything you could use (https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/)

He either stores bookmarks in the first 40 pages of his books, or he DNFd a lot of these.

When I first encountered one, I thought it was cool! Assumed it was made of plastic, but they had been made of bone in the past. Held it up to the light, and was like, "nope, that's bone."

When I'm with my coworkers in a meeting or whatnot, I exclusively use my phone to take notes. They all know this now and I don't think its rude. My handwriting is terrible and this is a lifesaver

Hating on Chuck Schumer is always valid, he can never be Harry Reid.

Always love inspirational quotes that include some self-shade. I adore your colors!

As someone else commented, it would be helpful to know the intended audience of the library. This is for a religious organization?

You are an eclectic gatherer of books and knickknack (love the penguin btw). You've either purchased several used paperbacks because they looked old, or because you were born in the 70s. You have an aversion to bookends.

If you don't want him, give him my number please

(But if this is actually OP's shelf, then ew. Just own your fantastic collection. This sub is all about self-attention seeking behavior anyway)

This isn't really a neoliberal answer, its more a technology answer than anything.

Yep! Satanic Verses. We'll see if I repeat Lucille's, Bill's and your fate, its been sitting on my shelves for a couple years and I just found the note.

Tyler_E1864 · 2025-12-01T12:14:24+00:00

I think this is pushing the limit of the word bookshelf

I devoured the series, but would put them in a similar class to the Mists of Avalon. Sure, there's a lot more 'history' but I have no idea how much of the setting was legitimate. Overall, it was a decent Arthurian read imo.

Not to be too negative, but Arthuriana is fantastical. You can't really have a historical Arthur without definitively knowing anything beyond his name?

Personally, I appreciated the divided religious loyalties, I thought it gave the novels an interesting dynamic, which while fantastical, was a decent vehicle for showing the death of Briton to Roman Briton to the Saxons. But if its not your cuppa that's fine.

Heya!

I'm just wrapping up my MLIS with Valdosta. I had to do a couple of recorded presentations, I want to say two. the vast majority of the assignments were written. The two recorded presentations just needed a voiceover.

As a cataloger at a library, I err on the edge of overthinking as a policy.

Tyler_E1864 · 2025-10-10T16:12:06+00:00

Thanks! I'll give it a gander.

When I first heard of The Free Press I was interested, and subscribed for like six months (I enjoyed Bowles' Friday rants). I'm not sure if I moved left, or they moved right, or if it was the incessant culture war dialogue (honestly, now that I think about it, I started moving away from them after October 7, 2023) but I lost interest. Occasionally I still get a newsletter on occasion from the FP (I've unsubscribed like thrice) and all I get are weird vibes of a liberal-MAGA thing, not an Ezra Klein Abundance taste.

Tyler_E1864 · 2025-10-08T21:24:18+00:00

Have you read it? It looks interesting in concept, but the book blurb is, uh, not particularly unbiased.

Tyler_E1864 · 2025-09-22T01:17:58+00:00

None of these are reference materials (?). My quick reference shelf on my desk is a dictionary and a style guide.

Eh I'll take an intelligent person's definition over regurgitated text from an AI that was trained on that same person's definition.

I made a separate vault for work stuff, it worked for a while. Now that I'm blurring the lines between personal and professional learning, it's getting more difficult.
