Goodbye until September 15

I don't post as often to this blog as I do to Paper Baubles. Most of my sub info and queries go directly to our wiki (Librarian Substitutes 2.0).

I'm racing to finish 23 Things on a Stick by the deadline of September 15, so I won't be posting here at all for the next few weeks.

See you after the 15th!

Mindset List 2008

It's almost fall, and the annual Beloit Mindset list is out. Beloit publishes this list to help college faculty and staff understand the world from the frosh perspective.

This year's list includes:

Gas stations have never fixed flats, but most serve cappuccino.

Girls in head scarves have always been part of the school fashion scene.

WWW has never stood for World Wide Wrestling.

And a shoutout to Evan, class of 2012!

clipped from www.beloit.edu The class of 2012 has grown up in an era where computers and rapid communication are the norm, and colleges no longer trumpet the fact that residence halls are “wired” and equipped with the latest hardware. These students will hardly recognize the availability of telephones in their rooms since they have seldom utilized landlines during their adolescence. They will continue to live on their cell phones and communicate via texting. Roommates, few of whom have ever shared a bedroom, have already checked out each other on Facebook where they have shared their most personal thoughts with the whole world.
