Today is May 26th, 2011. Over the course of the week-end, literally thousands of San Jose State University students will become SJSU alumni! Congratulations to everyone who will cross a stage in a cap and gown and find new ground under your feet.
What do librarians do in the summer? Well, some of us have mapped out grandiose schemes of updating all manner of policies, web pages, and procedures. Some of us aspire to tidy our offices. Many of us will submerge, quietly, into the cool, quiet stacks and let our minds expand with thoughts of how we will reorder out thoughts and plots to be ever better librarians when Fall comes round again.
Some of us, and I'm not saying who, will be running amok and trying to catch all the museum exhibits as humanly possible. If you are in San Jose, or near here, I highly recommend the San Jose Museum of Art's current exhibition titled The Modern Photographer: Observation and Intention | Selections from the Permanent Collection which will be on display until July 3. It is a very well curated show of early 20th century photography, including stellar examples from Ruth Bernhard and P.H. Polk. If you hurry, you can also see the impressive Mapplethorpe Portraits show, which is only up 'til June 5th.
