Can you stand a little Christmas?
From the state library of Kansas:
It's 70 degrees here in Topeka and not a snow flake, reindeer or pilgrim in sight….
But, no matter the weater, the information elves in the Reference Division of the State Library have been hard at work today and are sending out a small gift to the Kansas library community.
We've set up a small webliography for the holiday season ahead at:
http://kslib.info/ref/misc/web/winterholidays.html
If you have addtions to make to this webliography that might be of help to other librarians answering those tough holiday questions send them my way for consideration at:
ksdocs@kslib.info
Bill Sowers -- Cataloging/Kansas Publications
State Library of Kansas
PS. I like the postcards from the Historical Society!

Online "Reader's Advisory"
Reader's Advisory is a service some libraries offer: if you want to read a book that offers something of the same style or tone of a favorite author, just ask the librarian.
This online version offers a mapping of the world of authors, demonstrating how close they are to each other. I must confess that I entered Tolkien, and Terry Pratchett is a resulting close read, so that was correct. But I've read a lot less Stephen King than the map would suggest.
Try it at gnooks.com. And then look to the home page for similar mapping/excursion into the world of movies and of music.
Thanks for the link, Rachel!
