I would suggest taking a look at the National Park Service's Museum Handbook (can download as PDF or view specific chapters). It's a pretty authoritative source and provides best practices for many objects/materials. It's kind of a beast to navigate but I can't tell you how helpful it is. The NPS also has a series called Conserve O Grams, which are shorter documents that discuss specific object mounting/handling/storing subjects.
Other online sources are the AIC Preservation Wiki and the NEDCC Preservation Leaflets, although these are more specific to documents and photographs. Might still be helpful though :)
My favorite book on preservation is the Preservation Management Handbook which is another text that is organized by the type of material you're working with.
Gaylord Archival also has some free resources on their website. I haven't reviewed these myself but they may prove helpful. Best of luck to you!

Read and work through the beginning-of-year stuff in the CHAMPS book.

Champs: A Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom Management (Library : Management, Motivation & Discipline) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1599090074/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ey3VDbY7VQS09

> For centuries—through two world wars, the Cold War and innumerable other conflicts, major and minor—, through times of intense political instability and stability alike, Britain has fostered a legal system with a definite, inclusive sense of our civil rights and liberties. We have an historic and treasured cultural sense of fair play and good manners, a tendency towards equality and personal freedom, an honoured history of protest and a healthy disregard for authority. From the bold action of Robert the Bruce, Robin Hood, Guy Fawkes, Wat Tyler, Emmeline Pankhurst to the bold thinking and writing of John Stuart Mill, George Orwell and countless others, the British people have worked hard to uphold these values which define our nation.

I feel this only indicative of one half of the story, and perhaps not even the half that was in the majority for much of our history. As catalogued in Obscure Scribblers, resistance to freedom of the press has been just as common a feature of British politics as expansion of free speech. Even the recent reaction to the Snowden leaks was resigned, much to the chagrin of the Guardian. This isn't to say that the legal system hasn't been excellent in many ways, but it's also been highly authoritarian at times.

I'm on your side by the way, but I'm not persuaded by this appeal to tradition tactic, both as a form of logic or as a historical thesis.

The Accidental Library Manager helped me out quite a bit; that and thinking back to the qualities my best bosses had. Looking back on my experiences as a relatively new manager, one piece of advice I can give is that you should take the time to sit down with your employee to see what kind of projects she's working on and how you can support her as her supervisor. Meet with her on a regular basis (or as your schedule permits) since this will help with keeping the lines of communication open.

Huh. See, it looked to me that all the librarian did was work really hard to make it look like he wasn't being patronizing to the patron, when he was actually citing chapter and verse every reason why the patron was being a close-minded and ignorant boob. A simple and humble response would have been much shorter. This writer, on the other hand, was turning to his like-minded audience (as well he should have, I might add) and slyly saying, "Watch me flay the skin off this witless victim while I proceed to cancel every point of argument she could come up with." Don't get me wrong - I think what he did was masterful, completely called for, and (fairly) deftly executed - I just don't kid myself about its innocence.

Edit: Not to put too fine a point on it, here is a link to the author's latest book. Notice it is not titled The New Coming Together of Differing Viewpoints. It's titled The New Inquisition. He knows - from vast experience - exactly what he's dealing with, and is an expert on counterattacks to protect the First Amendment.

This is one of the required readings in the MLIS program, and has a pretty good overview of the different aspects of the profession

Laura Millar's book Archives, Practices and Principles is a good starter on the role of an archivist: https://www.amazon.com/Archives-Principles-Laura-Agnes-Millar/dp/1555707262

u/fuckyoumartinez · 2 pointsr/Libraries

my old boss, like many many jobs ago, was an academic library and our circulation manager even wrote a book on displays. i don't actually know if there was any correlation between what Sue did and our circulation or census, but if you want to do displays, do it!

Developing and Maintaining Practical Archives by Gregory Hunter is what I used when I was in class a few years ago.

Check out the book Black Belt Librarian by Warren Graham. It's all about this topic.
