The Liminal Librarian

Sometimes I’m unsure if I randomly run across articles on certain topics because they’re on my mind, or whether certain topics are on my mind because of some larger trend that’s generating bunches of articles. So, I thought I’d share a couple with you as well.

First, this is generating some interesting discussion on my moms’ board, and I thought it was apropros to link here in light of recent conversations: “Homeward Bound” on American Prospect Online talks about “elite women” (we won’t go there) making the choice to stay home with children rather than work in “elite jobs.” (Some links to additional articles on the subject, as well.) The Chronicle of Higher Education chimes in with a view from academia in “Finding a Parent-Friendly Place.“

For something completely different: “Advice for Authors” over at Seth’s Blog talks to those interested in publishing a book, and wannabe managers and change agents should check out T. Scott’s recent post on “Decision Making.“
