ALA Annual in San Francisco is upon us! Check “other news” below to see where we’ll be, but for those of us who are left behind, these links will have to ease the longing.
Fluxus Club in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune Art Lab, December 4, 2014.
New features:
- The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, MN invited the public into the museum library to explore the collection and make art – everything we love! Part 2 is up now, and you can read Part 1 here.
- What would you do if you found a flipbook in the margins of a library book? Anton Hecht was part of The Flipbooks in Libraries project in Gateshead Libraries, which by the way was totally sanctioned by the librarians – nobody freak out!
- We’re thrilled that the folks at The Hatchery (a website from the Glasgow School of Art) are back with another series! Check out this Micropages exhibit.
Other news:
- If you’re at/going to ALA Annual, find out where we’ll be! Erinn is our ambassador this year, and she’s part of some dynamite sessions. Say hi if you see her!
- Holly took part in the ILEAD USA conference this week and was tweeting great stuff about connecting libraries. Look for #ileadusa on Twitter!
- Our friend Karen Jensen (of Teen Librarian Toolbox fame) published an e-book on Scrib about Music in Our Libraries, especially for teens, and we think you should know it exists. Hooray for more arts resources!
Fun stuff:
- Pranksters in the UK made a Stonehenge of old refrigerators for the summer solstice. #fridgehenge
- Embroidery, history, & the internet – artist Cornelia Parker created a crowdsourced tapestry of the Wikipedia article on the Magna Carta. Love everything about this.
- Someone turned Google’s image recognition software around to produce images, and they are… beyond strange and well past trippy. It’s like the dreams of a machine…
- WGBH in Boston speculates on the Museums of 2035. Do you think it’s where we’re headed?
- 6 Easiest Video Editing Tools – get your tech tips here!
- June is National Candy Month (apparently), and Quirk Books posted on literary characters as PEZ dispensers. Amazing.
