Women of the U.S. Supreme Court

The Women of the U.S. Supreme Court

In the history of the United States, there have been only four Supreme Court Justices that have also been women. Perhaps unsurprisingly, people are interested in these women, their lives, and what they have to say.  With that in mind, I have created a select bibliography on each of these esteemed women:  Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.

Learning to Draw

As a librarian, people are always asking me for resources that will teach them how to draw.  It is a common question.  It is asked so often that I created a bibliography of go-to resources that I pull out when people ask me that question.

Health at Every Size

Health at Every Size is a health and nutrition approach that posits that health exists on a continuum that varies with time and circumstance for each individual. It argues that health should be conceived as a resource or capacity available to all regardless of health condition or ability level, and not as an outcome or objective of living. Since this is an up-and-coming area of nutrition science, I have created a bibliography on that topic to help researchers find information on it.

Introverts and Introversion

Introverts and introversion have been much-discussed topics lately.  So for my inaugural bibliography, I decided to create a brief bibliography geared toward introverts who are dealing with their introversion.

I wondered about all the fuss about introversion for a while -- until I saw the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary definition of introversion.  Their first substantive definition of introversion makes it sound like introverts are self-absorbed navel-gazers.  It says that introversion is

the state of or tendency toward being wholly or predominantly concerned with and interested in one's own mental life. 

 I know introverts.  Heck, I am an introvert, and this just seems wrong to me.  Perhaps this is some kind of mistake made by someone writing about something they know nothing about, but it really brought home how much introverts are misunderstood in modern Western culture.  So I made a bibliography of resources to help introverts (and those who love them) in dealing  with their introversion.
