I am in the process of creating a pathfinder for LGBT books and would like any guides, bibliographies, lists, blogs, websites that you may have in mind for this very significant pathfinder. It will be for young adult fiction and non-fiction at the main library. I can squeeze possibly 100 titles, so would like to be comprehensive.
Thank you for your feedback.

I am putting together a topical resource list for teens/young adults with a budding interest in photography, hopefully to inspire more youths to be visual storytellers, esp. those whose stories are not well represented in the mainstream. I have a lot of good non fiction books, but would like to include some fiction that has photography as part of the plot in some fashion, and movies too. Andy Warhol said "Art is what you can get away with." I would like to see MORE diversity in the socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds of artists, and see photography as a relatively affordable and accessible medium.

In 1998, AIDS was 5 to 10 times more prevalent in U.S. prison than on the outside. How would I find out whether this is still true today (or what the new prevalence of HIV/AIDS is both in and out of prison)?

Hi,
I'm beginning a paper about cataloguing zines and self-published material. Do you know of any good articles about cataloguing zines? Do you know of any notable zine collections? Any major zine collections I should know about in the New York Metropolitan area? Any information about how to catalogue zines would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Irene

I am researching progressive listservs, blogs, web-journals, and news sources for the International School for Bottom-Up Organizing. We want to be able both to learn what people are addressing, as well as send out information on what we are doing so that there can be cross-collaboration and movement-building.

We're especially looking for groups/orientations that address or are interested in the following: anti-oppression, women-led/feminist, people of color led/anti-racist, community organizing, anti-authoritarian and are not limited to the U.S. or to english. The point is to be able to connect people who are actually doing this work, or who want to.

I know that there are millions of such resources... but getting a start would be immensely helpful- I imagine that someone has already done a lot of this work! Thanks so much!
