Yesterday was a program on <a href=\"http:\/\/library.laguardia.edu\/ee\/index.php?\/blog\/information_literacy_assessment_in_a_20_world_changes_challenges\/\">information literacy assessment<\/a> at LaGuardia Community College, and today was a program on <a href=\"http:\/\/alycia.brokenja.ws\/content\/changed-date-critical-pedagogy-and-library-instruction-event\">critical pedagogy and library instruction<\/a> at Brooklyn College. (And in between I had 2 meetings at the Graduate Center, where the wifi is not locked down + the cafeteria always has something tasty for lunch.)<\/p>\n<p>* The G used to be Gus&#8217;s favorite train when he was wee, for obvious reasons. The logo is a pleasing spring green, so I like it too.<\/p>\n<p>** Gus used to &lt;3 the 7, too, when his favorite color was purple. I love it because it goes elevated in Queens and passes by an incredibly beautifully graffitied building.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s so strange the way my brain reacts to new knowledge sometimes. These programs were both incredibly engaging and thought-provoking, and usually afterward I&#8217;d be working things out in my head or scribbling (really typing) down some half-baked notes + ideas sparked by all of the good stuff I heard + thought about.  But I think that the close proximity of two highly interesting + relevant (both work-relevant and research-interest-relevant) talks has overloaded my brain somewhat. The wheels are spinning a bit, but nothing coherent and no urge to write it down.<\/p>\n<p>I think my brain is temporarily full. Maybe stuff will percolate out tomorrow or later. In the meantime, <i>Sherlock Holmes<\/i> will help empty it out a bit, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the past 2 days I have ridden 4 subway lines (in order: G,* 7,** Q and 5) and traveled to 3 CUNY campuses for 2 great librariany programs (and 2 meetings).
