These bears are still here but they are in what we now call our Picture File. The "Vertical File" was the designation used for filing cabinets.
The stacks are book shelves containing the principal book collection of the library. In the main library, the stacks are located on floors 4 through 9.

Sometimes, I get to go over to the library to fetch a book for one of the professors. I know I say it every time, but there's something about the stacks in an academic library, with all the cloth-bound books in their bright colors that I find so soothing. Or maybe it's just that I miss being in a library every day. Either way, I strayed upstairs to wander around (even though the book I needed was at the circulation desk). I've been struggling a bit with concentration and motivation and stress and crankiness this week, and my detour definitely helped.

I work in the poster collection of the Vienna City Library. This is my office. Currently I catalogue film posters from the 80s and 90s.

This is me practicing night photos. The building on the right is the Dana Porter Library (3.5 km away). The building on the left is Laurier's library. Something I learned during my frosh week: There are at least five academic libraries closer to the Dana Porter than Laurier's library.
On a perfect Spring day I rode to Macquarie Uni and back via Lane Cove National Park. Plenty of photo ops at the Uni where my partner works and my son has started a late-onset engineering degree.

The four guest computers do not have the Microsoft Office or Adobe Creative Suite software (that is on all the other computers.) They provide access to the library catalog & databases, and government web sites.
For current students, faculty, & staff of UNLV (and a few other institutions), they also provide full internet access.
"This model presents a view of how students might view the library as place in relation to their academic and social lives. It is at this intersection that I propose Library 2.0 has begun to materialize. The primary goal of the model is to encourage brainstorming over how we can develop virtual environments that will fit into students' lives."

Het Ladeuzeplein wordt gedomineerd door de monumentale bibliotheek van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Alhoewel het neo-renaissance uitzicht anders doet vermoeden, is dit een vrij recent gebouw, namelijk uit 1921. Het gebouw is een gift van het Amerikaanse volk aan de stad Leuven nadat de oorspronkelijke bibliotheek uit de 17de eeuw, gelegen aan de Naamsestraat, in augustus 1914 bij het begin van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, werd platgebrand door de Duitse bezetter. Tegenwoordig omvat de collectie ongeveer vier miljoen boekwerken.
Architecten: de Amerikanen Whitney Warren en Charles D. Wetmore.

At Grand Valley State University (Allendale, Michigan) for the excellent Re-think It 2015 Conference. Here are my pictures of the beautiful Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons that opened in 2013. This is a LEED Platinum building (the first I ever visited). From their site: "The Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons is designed to be the intellectual heart of the Allendale Campus. It will exceed the expectations of anyone who thinks of a library solely as a home for printed books and whispered words. In this new library, students will find a range of environments, from noisy to quiet, in which they can work on an assignment alone or in a group; receive coaching from a peer consultant in research, writing, or presenting; practice a new skill or play with a new idea; learn something unexpectedly; engage easily with each other in spaces engineered to accommodate the sounds of natural conversation; or curl up by the fireplace in a contemplative space with the best views on campus. Students will do all of these things in a building that was crafted with their needs in mind—the right lighting, the right furniture, the right resources, the right services, the right spaces, and the right amount of flexibility. "Going to the library" will take on a whole new meaning as the Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons becomes and integral part of every student's experience at Grand Valley."

I made this to go right in front of the computer on our side of the desk. It's 8.5 x 11 landscape.
July 2003 version
As part of the campaign "Österreich liest" (Austria reads) with about 1500 events all over Austria, we invited twelve people to present their favourite books - teacher, librarian, student, press officer, pensioner, art manager, interior designer... (all of them are on the photo). Jakob Perschy, head of the provincial library of Burgenland, and me moderated the event, our boss from the university welcomed the guests. It was a really nice event with about forty guests, the room was nicely decorated, our local bookshop sold the books presented.

Here's my collection of library cards. Dimond Library card in Durham; N.H. Institute of Art library card in Manchester; PC Access (Internet Only) Card from Manchester City Library, Manchester City Library card, and my card from the Oscar Foss Memorial Library in Barnstead.
After the move. My first attempts at signage to get across the idea that despite the big sign overhead, the two staffers at this large service counter have two very different kinds of expertise. I brought over the yellow 11x14 sign from our old desk to put on our side, and made a new 8 1/2 x 11 landscape sign for the center. It was too small, few patrons really noticed it.
You can see the center sign in detail here:

Cambridge, MA: Looking across Harvard Yard towards Widener Library. It is named after Harry Elkins Widener, a Harvard alum, book collector, and Titanic victim. The library opened in 1915.
This card would have come from the Library of Congress to our library where one of our previous staff would have typed the call number on a manual typewriter. I think they were supposed to be using red ink and the ribbon wasn't operating properly.
