Dewey Decimal System

[close] Here we encourage readers to explore new subjects by reading more non-fiction books. We will select a Book of the Month (BOTM) based on the current month and the Dewey Decimal system. So for example, in January the BOTM will come from the 100 classification, in February it will be 200, etc. October will use 000, and November and December will be open to any classification. Please join us and share which non-fiction books you have enjoyed, or get recommendations for great books to read!

[close] Professor Mary Wilkins Jordan founded the GSLIS Book Group in February 2011. Its purpose is to bring GSLIS students together once a month for something the vast majority of us enjoy - reading and talking about books - while also giving us a chance to practice readers advisory and other skills that librarians can use. This semester we are trying a new format. Rather than focusing on one book per meeting, we will focus on a theme! How does it work? Each month, we’ll select a theme and suggest a few titles based on that theme. At our monthly meeting, we’ll start with a discussion on those books, but encourage everyone to bring your own book suggestions that incorporate the theme. If you cannot make the meeting feel free to post a note on the forum!
