PCE LIBRARY UPDATEI’m Kenneth Gariepy, the PCE’s first professional, volunteer librarian, and this is the first of what I hope will be a regular column about the library. I’d like to tell you a little about myself and what John G. (my assistant) and I have accomplished since we started working together in October. I bring over 21 years of experience with Edmonton Public Libraries to the PCE. I’m a PhD student in educational administration and the contributing editor of a new book called Librarianship and Human Rights: a Twenty-first Century Guide. I’m firmly committed to providing and preserving resources for and about our community through the library. John and I have weeded the collection, which is now approximately 4,000 volumes. I’m busy creating the first electronic catalogue, which will be available on the Web. Please be patient as I catalogue and label the collection, which will take many weeks to complete. When the cataloguing is finished, I’ll be creating a digital archives, which will help preserve the history of our community. I’ll also be indexing periodicals such as Outlooks and Perceptions, which will make it possible to find articles in the back issues of these publications. I welcome your donations for the library, but please ensure that they are GLBTQ-related and in good condition. I look forward to meeting more of you as the work continues!
