#master of library and information science

Minnesota joined pioneering Illinois in making it illegal to ban LGBTQ+ and other books at libraries. The bill, known as MN SF3567, was signed into law by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz on the 17th.

Minnesota has banned book bans, making it illegal for libraries to remove titles based on ideology. Democratic Gov. Tim Walz signed HF3782 into law last week, which prevents libraries from removing books “based solely on the viewpoint, content, message, idea, or opinion conveyed.” Instead, content curation will be managed by “a licensed library media specialist, an individual with a master’s degree in library sciences or library and information sciences, or a professional librarian or person with extensive library collection management experience." "Censorship has no place in our libraries. As a former teacher, I’m clear: We need to remember our history, not erase it," Walz said on Twitter/X. "Today, I signed a bill into law putting an end to book bans based on ideology in Minnesota."

In the Minnesota Senate, all 34 Democrats voted for the bill along with 1 Republican (Sen. Jim J. Abeler). All 31 Nay votes came from Republicans.

In the Minnesota House, all 68 Democrats voted for it and all 59 Republicans voted against it.

So don't take shit from third party losers who tell you that both major parties are alike.

This vote is another reminder of the importance of state government and state legislatures in particular.

The passage of Minnesota's anti-censorship bill was made possible when Democrats flipped the state senate in 2022. 😉

Look up who represents you in your state's legislature.

Find Your Legislators Look your legislators up by address or use your current location.

If you're represented by Republicans, work to defeat them. Volunteering to help in a legislative election is an excellent way to get your feet wet in politics. It's very grass roots and you'll probably get a chance to talk with the candidate yourself.

BONUS: Minnesota's new state flag became official this month. It's VERY blue and even if Justice Alito flies it upside down it won't make any difference.

Then the ‘Library and Information Science’ degree is the best-suited degree that would lead you to a satisfactory career in the future.

ISO: Graphic Novel Recommendations

I am presenting my thesis project on graphic novels in the library in May. I'm including a list of recommended readings for librarians who are not familiar with comics/graphic novels. I have a LONG list but I want to crowdsource and get some recommendations from the internet too. *Note: as any good librarian should, I'm going to properly vet your choices before adding the comic to my list.

"MA in human rights" sounds like the most made up degree

#sasha speaks #speaking as someone getting a master's in library and information science. which also sounds made up

#so for the mutuals that have been keeping up with the cute little tidbits i’ve been posting about my life— #i fucking hate my major #& after almost crying myself to the point of nausea again i finally did some more research on changing my major #i think i’m going to change my major from information systems to business administration #basically info systems is business & computer science & the bulk of 90% of my issues come from coding #like yes i also dislike my business classes & excel sucks but i find those classes to be easier & manageable compared to my coding ones #not to mention it’s mostly within the wheelhouse of my current major so it only adds two classes to my current grad plan #like yeah there’s gonna be more finance classes which i hate like i hate the math/accounting aspect #but there’s also more marketing type classes where i might actually be able to have a little fun and show some creativity #i imagine my dad will be upset with me—he wants me to stay in this major/not ‘be a quitter’/just ‘try harder’ to learn useful skills #but the alteration isn’t that bad & he can still help me with excel or whatever else #so the change should be good. i still plan to stick it out this semester because i think it’ll be a mess if i drop my classes #not to mention i still need like half the classes i’m taking rn #but since i’m getting my masters in library science it’s one of those things where it literally doesn’t matter at all what— #i get my bachelor’s in #anyways #rose.txt

Hotch: There are lots of ways that sons defeat their fathers The Husband: I just keep getting PHDs

Besties My Husband has 3 PHDs and I might fuck around and get 2 masters lmao @anything-thats-rock-and-roll @penelopegarciaswife @thebewingedjewelcat @octaviaember @residentdormouse

#the professor on campus who specializes in getting autistic people hired in the tech field who I wrote about in my application to my program #is doing a research class on the topic this fall and I'm taking it. her discipline is in information management instead of library science #but the parts of library science that I'm interested in are the organization and database parts of it #all digital humanities librarianship is is conserving data of really cool aspects of art literature and philosophy #which is something I still want to do #but I also want to look into some intro classes in her field next quarter to see if I want to apply and get a duel master's degree #because all this woman does all day is work with computers and data which is what I want to do and cybersecurity sounds super fucking cool #I just didn't apply to her disciplines program bc I was worried it would involve too much math

[bubbles-the-banshee]

Now, I just have to figure out how I’m paying for classes! (The plan is student loans, if my financial aid application goes through in time. Otherwise, I’ll need to defer to Fall 2023. But hey, either way ya boi’s on the way to a career in archives and/or librarianship!)

"HB 777 not only would fine libraries and librarians, but it would possibly require hard labor by those found guilty. Read that again: librarians would be sentenced to hard labor for daring to join their largest professional organization.

The bill would also potentially kill one of the largest graduate school programs in the state of Louisiana, Louisiana State University’s Masters of Library and Information Science program. Like all Master of Library and Information Science programs, it is accredited by the ALA and goes through a rigorous process to ensure that the curriculum is up-to-date and aligned with best practices in libraries.

Even if the bill is limited “only” to the use of tax money to support membership or attendance/enrollment in ALA-sponsored professional development, take a moment to look into whether or not police, fire, or other public entities are subject to similar legislation in Louisiana or elsewhere. You probably know the answer–and you probably won’t be surprised that one of the few institutional benefits offered to library workers is such membership.

If you haven’t been paying attention until now or you’ve thought these fears when laid out over the last several years were hyperbole and this is your wakeup call, there’s no time like the present to get to work advocating on behalf of your library. If you live in Louisiana, contact your representatives as soon as possible (here’s a very easy way to do that!). You can also reach out to Kellee Dickerson by phone at [phone] and email [email protected].

Then, reach out to your own libraries and offer your support, either by showing up at board meetings and/or running for those board positions when vacancies occur. Go borrow books from the library and get your writing hands going with letters to your local papers.

EveryLibrary also has a petition you can sign related to HB777."

Please take the time to sign the petition, spread the word, and support your local library.

I've lost so much faith in the systems of the world that it extended to institutions and I've even contemplated whether or not to finish my masters because of my complete dissillusionment. I thought: "Whats the point? None of this means anything."

But my mother got angry at me. She said, "Don't do it for yourself, do it for your country. Your people. You need to preserve our culture. Do something to help your country. Worm your way into institutions and cause trouble for them, see how they do things. Be loud and be Palestinian because that's the way you resist outside Palestine."

I already went into the Library and Informational Sciences field with the intent to help Palestine. But now I don't care about anything else other than fighting the systems that people hold so dear to inflict oppression on people around the world. Fuck museums and libraries in colonial projects. I'm building my own archive and I get to define that with my communities. Fuck your systems of erasure, making my people invisible. I refuse it. I refuse it.
