Om migi contain multitudes: librarian, lawyer, information law and policy geek, computer geek, feminist sf fan, atheist, anarchist, queer, parent, plus other categories.

I first cataloged my books at the age of 10, on index cards in a shoebox. (It was before the era of the personal computer.) My first non-neighborhood job was volunteering at the local public library, where I used my first computer and first provided technical support.

"Friends": In general I only "friend" and accept friend invitations from people I know in real life. If your library is interesting I'll add you to interesting libraries, and maybe someday we'll get to know each other in person.

Quintessential Interesting Library: The quintessential interesting library for me would be diverse, and include lots of (a) political identity theory (feminism, antiracism, queer); (b) radical history & theory (anarchism, labor history, etc.); (c) information studies (copyright, privacy, open source, media criticism); (d) science fiction; (e) lots of fiction by women and people of color; (f) atheism & religious studies; (g) science; (h) history, biography, memoir; (i) a lot of stuff from small, independent, and alternative presses, generally; (j) lots of media -- graphic novels, music, DVDs; (k) very few celebrity-related books, very few (none?) "how women can improve their relationships with men" books, and very few "how to be a good X religionist" books.

Groups I've started:
* Feminist SF
* Radical History
* Jamaica Plain readers (sadly, very empty at the moment)
* anarchism
* lists
* authors in memoriam
* spoilers! a group dedicated to hating on the concept
* bookstores R.I.P. - honoring defunct but beloved bookstores
* History, Revised - discussion of historical controversies that challenge received wisdom

Om mit bibliotek"My Library" is a mishmash of stuff I read as a kid, stuff I have read or owned as an adult, and other stuff -- like, my wishlist. I specialize in feminist SF (@FSF) and critical information studies @INFO). Within these fields particularly, I collect and own things I would not necessarily recommend. In particular, please note that not all things in @FSF are "feminist" per se; nor are all things in @INFO "critical" per se -- just of relevance to that general collection.

Some stuff is in storage in California and was entered here via an excel spreadsheet, so data -- especially edition data -- is likely inaccurate. Some stuff is technically my partner's or my daughter's.

What's Hers Is Mine: All of this stuff is mine, because I have applied the doctrine of couverture to my girlfriend's library. But some of the books originated with her. The science textbooks are all hers. The other science-related books are split between us. The queer & women's history is as likely to be hers as mine.

Duplicates: When we merged our libraries we had many duplicates, which we gave away at our wedding. But we still have a lot of duplicates, because we couldn't bear to give away (for instance) the first edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves; Coming to Power; The Feminine Mystique -- but we also wanted to keep a more current edition. Plus with a vast portion of my library in storage 3000 miles away, occasionally I have bought a duplicate intentionally or accidentally. And then I keep duplicates of some copies of works that are hard to find, that I want to have loaner copies of -- e.g., Alice Nunn's Illicit Passage. But because my cataloging data is not based on the book itself for the most part, the duplicates are really inaccurate - editions, number, etc.

Completeness of the library: I'm still adding in books, most of which are boxed in California, and not accessible to me. So I'm doing it based on a spreadsheet inventory of the boxes. It's a moving process, but it's mostly done. When my library is consolidated again, I'll go through and shelf-verify all the materials. Looking forward to that day!

Edition information: Adding library data from a very simple spreadsheet index means that my edition information is completely inaccurate. For 95% of the books I just picked the first available title. I've gone back and corrected a few where I had a sense of edition based on cover.

Unowned, Unread, Why? Books: Basically until mid-2007 I used my LT account primarily as a physical inventory of books I own. However starting mid-2007 I began adding (as an experiment) books that I list as @interesting or @wishlist. I don't own these books. I don't really like doing it this way, and will be delighted when the "Collections" feature debuts. To see just my physical library search for tag:@owned . NB: tags of "@unread" may be out of date, and tags of "@read" are utterly unreliable and not consistently applied.

Specialties:
I collect in two major areas: feminist science fiction (tag: @FSF) and critical information studies (tag: @INFO).

* Books tagged @FSF include:
- (a) SF books that are feminist (e.g., Joanna Russ' The Female Man);
- (b) SF books with some significant gender or sexuality element, of whatever political persuasion -- feminist, casually sexist, misogynist (e.g., Le Guin, Heinlein, Alph (shudder);
- (c) SF books by women or queers whose authorship makes them groundbreaking, e.g., early utopian novels by women such as Sultana's Dream by Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain;
- (d) relevant scholarship dealing with any of the above. I take "SF" very broadly to mean any speculative or supernatural element in work, including faint elements of magic realism or speculatively religious (depicting souls, ghosts, psychic powers, etc.)

I usually try to also tag relevantly ("sexist", "gender issues SF", "matriarchy") to better describe the work.

* Books tagged @INFO include media studies, librarianship, freedom of expression, intellectual property, information technology policy, and so on. This collection operates as a professional bibliographic database for me, and includes many, many works marked "@unread" and "@unowned" but "@interesting".

Recommendations: Just because I own a book doesn't necessarily mean I recommend it. I collect books on some topics — for example, "sex wars in fiction" and feminist backlash novels — even though they're mostly atrocious and misogynystic. Most of the stuff I own, I like, or think I'll like -- I haven't read everything; oftentimes, I like a book by the author or I'm interested in a topic, and I buy others by the author or on the topic when I see them; but haven't gotten to reading them yet. Probably, I've read more than 75% of the library, but I wouldn't swear on it, because some of the library (which is mine! all mine!) is sourced from my Other.
