SLA Conference 2004: Info about Nashville and Belle Meade Plantation

Info about Nashville and Belle Meade Plantation

The March 2004 Sky magazine explores Nashville, site of the Special Libraries Association 2004 Annual Conference. About Belle Meade Plantation, location for the SLA News Division Awards Banquet, it says, “The ornate Victorian interiors at Belle Meade, once a renowned thoroughbred stud farm, are filled with memorabilia dedicated to its most famous resident, Iroquois, who in 1881 became the first American-bred horse ever to win England’s Epsom Derby. You can see paintings of the four-legged champ, his trophies and a macabre, though fascinating, Tiffany inkwell made of silver and his hooves. But that didn’t spell an end to Iroquois’ legacy. Among his descendants are some 52 Kentucky Derby winners, including Secretariat; and each May he is remembered when Nashville hosts the Iroquois Steeplechase.”

News Division Award Winners

News Division Award Winners

Congratulations to the four amazing people who won the Special Libraries Association News Division awards this year. John Cronin of the Boston Herald will get kwapilled at the Awards Banquet in June. The Kwapil Award is the division’s highest honor, recognizing someone who has made outstanding contributions to the News Division and the field during his career. Gary Price of ResourceShelf and other fame and Liz Donovan of The Miami Herald will receive Agnes Henebry Roll of Honor Awards. The award honors those who have made significant contributions to the division. Amy Disch, a University of Wisconsin-Madison graduate student, will receive the Vormelker-Thomas Student Award, a stipend to defray the costs of the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference.

If it wasn’t for John Cronin, I wouldn’t have my job. John is a truly amazing guy, quite a character, and a total inspiration. He’s someone everyone who is a news librarian anywhere in America should (and just might) know. I am honored to work near him and know him professionally.

Gary Price is someone whose material I’m constantly reading and linking to. He’s one of these people who baffles us all because of how well he keeps up with things and how willing he is to share what he finds and learns. The News Division is so lucky to count him among their members.

I’ve worked with Liz Donovan through the News Division for the last two years since as Director of Publications she oversees my work as Webmaster. Her technical wizardry is an inspiration. If it wasn’t for her pushing me, I may not be blogging today and the News Division probably wouldn’t have a blog. Liz blogs on other blogs, besides the News Division blog.

I, unfortunately, have not met Amy Disch, yet. She works with some great people at Madison Newspapers, Inc., and, of course, goes to a terrific university. Go Badgers! From my past three years on the committee to choose the student stipend winner, I can tell you that the competition is tough. The committee gets many essays from equally intelligent, active, and deserving graduate students interested in news librarianship. Choosing only one of them can be very difficult.

Lots of Stuff Happening with the News Division Web Site

Lots of Stuff Happening with the News Division Web Site

A few weeks ago, a fellow news librarian saw one of my pleas for volunteers for the Web site and passed it on to some classmates. That e-mail was forwarded to a few e-mail discussion lists and several people have stepped forward to help with sections of the site. There is now a page of Election Resources, thanks to Lauren Pressley. Alexandra Tyle submitted and updated some sources for the International News Archives page, which now has a new URL, too. A few others are working on some pages and will send me updates in the next month or so (I hope).

The preliminary program for the 2004 SLA Annual Conference has recently been updated to include the schedule of events in the latest issue of News Library News, which is only available online. Any tips about Nashville (restaurants, getting around, things to see and do, other hotels, etc.) would be a nice addition to this page.

And don’t forget that the deadline for the Vormelker-Thomas Student Award, a stipend to help a graduate student to attend her/his first SLA Annual Conference, is Monday, February 23 and the Hayden Fellowship for professional development deadline is Saturday, May 1.

News librarians deconstruct Presidents’ day

News librarians deconstruct Presidents’ day:

Savannah Morning News librarian Julia Muller has an article on the holiday’s history on the Savannah Now Web site. And Michael Miners sent this very interesting email to Newslib:

“Pardon me for a long email that amounts to nothing but preaching to the choir, but I thought this would be if interest.

As part of our daily almanac we recently published that Abraham Lincoln’s birthday was designated a Federal holiday in 1892. I was asked to verify this after a reader called to correct us. A call to the Lincoln Presidential Library confirmed that the reader was correct; Lincoln’s birthday was NEVER a federal holiday.

Here’s what is interesting:

A Nexis search reveals 10 newspapers published the same statement this month. The statement has been published in newspapers approximately 88 times over the past 19 years (my paper published it 7 of those times) and it looks like AP has moved the information every year since 1985.

The editor who I spoke to told me she had “googled” it before we ran it and found it to be correct. I pointed out to her that she only found what she was looking for. As per the discussion earlier on this list, Googler beware. A Google for 1892 Lincoln Birthday Holiday does give quite a few supporting documents, but it turns out that only Illinois made Abe’s birthday a holiday in 1892.

This reminded me of the famous example of Maya Angelou being referred to as U.S.Poet Laureate or former Poet Laureate. You will all be horrified or amused, depending on your ilk, to discover that a Nexis search reveals that particular item is still being misreported by reputable newspapers. I won’t name names here but go look yourself. (And it begs the question, is Nexis any better than Google?)

This kind of thing is why I love this job – it’s also why we are needed.

P.S. Were it not for a very helpful and knowledgeable employee of the Presidential Library, it would not have been easy to confirm the statement one way or another because I found several conflicting sources. For those interested, there is a well researched explanation at: http://www.snopes.com/holidays/presidents/presidents.asp.”

In other news about researchers vs. Google, Newslib’s Jessica Baumgart recently

took a challenge to try a research request that Google Answers wouldn’t try, and writes about it in her blog.
