Grad School

[close] Professor Mary Wilkins Jordan founded the GSLIS Book Group in February 2011. Its purpose is to bring GSLIS students together once a month for something the vast majority of us enjoy - reading and talking about books - while also giving us a chance to practice readers advisory and other skills that librarians can use. This semester we are trying a new format. Rather than focusing on one book per meeting, we will focus on a theme! How does it work? Each month, we’ll select a theme and suggest a few titles based on that theme. At our monthly meeting, we’ll start with a discussion on those books, but encourage everyone to bring your own book suggestions that incorporate the theme. If you cannot make the meeting feel free to post a note on the forum!

[close] We're in grad school, so we are clearly intellectuals and intellectuals are almost always drunks. Well, the fabulous ones anyway (Hemmingway, Fitzgerald, Capote, etc). So let's get together under the guise of a literary discussion to blow off some grad school induced steam and throw back a drink or two. As our literary heroes have demonstrated it is possible to both drink like a fish and be insightful, but be sure to read the book!

[close] A place for us UNT Virginia Cohorters to share and discuss great books with each other.

[close] This group is for students in graduate school who love reading in their (nonexistent) spare time ;) !! Come and share you favorites + currently-reading recommendations, and if there's enough interest, we can even start a book club of our own! :D
