The autumn of information literacy (1): statistics | bibliocw-soc
https://cwbibliotheek.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/the-autumn-of-information-literacy-1-statistics
UvA-Library blog for Communication Science and Sociology. The autumn of information literacy (1): statistics. No end of season (or worse) meant with the title, autumn just being my busiest time with information literacy courses and workshops, and therefore the richest in opportunities to expand my knowledge for answering students’ and staff’s questions. Photo from the website of the University of Oxford Botanic Garden. I was asked sometime ago about how to find statistics for GDP per capita. 2012-GDP per...

UvA-Library blog for Communication Science and Sociology. Farewell Bibliocw-soc, welcome Library 333. Due to the growing workload – which has prevented me from blogging after the New year’s post. Of last January 10 (! 8211; my colleague Janneke Staaks. And I have decided to join our efforts and replace our subject specific blogs. With a common one meant for the whole UvA Social Sciences library: Library 333. Will join us on the new blog, completing the team of UvA Social Sciences’ subject librarians.

New year new library | bibliocw-soc
https://cwbibliotheek.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/new-year-new-library
UvA-Library blog for Communication Science and Sociology. New year new library. 8230; sort of, since the library I came across while leafing through a magazine actually dates to 2011. Yet I found it such an inspiring building that I couldn’t resist the temptation of using it in this first 2014 post. In the Beijng district of Huairou, is the work of Li Xiaodong Atelier. And amazingly succeed – as the pictures show – in the designers’ aim of using. Pictures and quote from Archdaily.com. Enter your comment ...

UvA-Library blog for Communication Science and Sociology. The numbers tell the tale? Two quotes (for the summer). On the eve of holiday, I take temporary leave of my blog with: Albert Einstein.

UvA-Library blog for Communication Science and Sociology.

And the idea of the “common good”. 8211; Marguerite Yourcenar’s wonderful novel. L’oeuvre au noir. 8211; comes from:. From Farrar, Straus and Giraux’s. Not only a grip...

LIVE 24/7: two cartoons from Iraq | bibliocw-soc
https://cwbibliotheek.wordpress.com/2013/11/15/live-247-two-cartoons-from-iraq
UvA-Library blog for Communication Science and Sociology. LIVE 24/7: two cartoons from Iraq. The times have gone, when a social approach to art history was able to produce such classics as Arnold Hauser. Social History of Art. And yet – no doubt thanks to my library work within the social sciences – I am always fascinated by (contemporary) works of art that know how to address broader issues than only aesthetic/poetic ones. At the 55th “Biennale di Venezia”. Inequality: research and web sources →. Italia...
