But not for long – life is just too crazy. Soon (as soon as I fix the PDF so you can’t see my real name
) I’ll post up my my 16 page paper that I wrote on Second Life and Libraries…but I felt the need to write about books!
Since I work in a library, and I’m working on getting my MLS from Drexel, I guess some people assume that I actually read books…for leisure, no less! WTF? Honestly though, I haven’t read as much as I’d like to since I’ve been in college…but I seem to be trying harder these days, and since I have a blog, I might as well start sharing what I am reading with you.
I tend to gravitate more towards non-fiction – a lot of self-help books and a lot of stories about people. If I read fiction it is either a) required or b) complete and utter fluff (I have blown through the entire Shopaholic series…the first couple of books were fun but they’re getting old in a hurry – the last one I read just because I’m already invested in the series, ya know?).
So. First the boring ones.
Information Architecture for the World Wide Web: Designing Large-Scale Web Sites [ILLUSTRATED] (Paperback)
by Louis Rosenfeld, Peter Morville
Reading this for class. I probably shouldn’t admit it but yes, I’m in week three of my classes and I don’t think I’ve opened up this book yet.
Will keep you updated. It looks really great though.
Systems Analysis and Design Methods
by Jeffrey L. Whitten, Lonnie D. Bentley
I own two versions of books of this type already, since sadly, I’ve taken a “Introduction to Systems Analysis” class twice already. Nothing spectacular to say, other than, if you want to know all there is to know about systems analysis and design, this is a great book.
Time’s out at work, so sometime later this week I’ll post the books that are checked out on my library card (that I’m reading, even!).
