Speaker Of The Hows, John Branning

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

I know several people who, among their various talents, list availability as a "motivational speaker." That sounds like a pretty sweet gig and I'm thinking of hanging out my shingle. Of course, the first thing I need to decide is: how much can I rake in for one of these talks?

Eskewpades Eschews Parades, Steve Eskew

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

As in past columns, I've lumped all of my bold escapades and misadventures together and nicknamed them "Eskewpades." Fun moments? Fur sure. But mostly public faux pas. When it comes to the public in general, I'm conflicted. Naturally I could live without the long lines at concerts, airports, subways and discos.

The Juggler Of Notre Dame And The Medievalizing Of Modernity, Volume 4: Picture That — Making A Show Of The Jongleur, Jan M. Ziolkowski

Juggling for Mary

This ambitious and vivid study in six volumes explores the journey of a single, electrifying story, from its first incarnation in a medieval French poem through its prolific rebirth in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The Juggler of Notre Dame tells how an entertainer abandons the world to join a monastery, but is suspected of blasphemy after dancing his devotion before a statue of the Madonna in the crypt; he is saved when the statue, delighted by his skill, miraculously comes to life.

Jan Ziolkowski tracks the poem from its medieval roots to its rediscovery in late nineteenth-century Paris, before …

A Change Would Do You Good: Cross-Sector Perspectives, Rebecca Katz, Kayla Harris, Marcella Huggard

Marian Library Faculty Publications

The various sectors of archives and related professions can diverge from each other in priorities, strategies, constituencies, and resource availability. Individuals changing positions across these sectors have an opportunity to bring skills learned in their previous field(s) to transform the work being done in archives and related institutions. Cross-sector experiences also provide an opportunity to reflect on how such transitions transformed an individual’s outlook on the profession as a whole and his or her role within it. Even much of the recently renewed interest in the unity among libraries, archives, and museums (LAMs) focuses on institutions and not on the …
