that was the offical 411... the other stuff that happened follows below...

@ da MEETING TODAY :: we discussed ...
[i wasn't paying attention the whole time but here is a half of the 411]
->> reminder that you should be checking websites as well as ur email for info on whats up... if you haven't noticed... this isn't rick typing... I, viki, have taken over the site. my style of informing you is facts first opinions later kinda deal alite? i add the little useless commentary stuff towards the end ^.~ and stuff in bold is IMPORTANT ... if its not in bold you don't have to read it...
->>an adult version of the teen advisory board!! by city of shoreline something or other... ask risk at ref desk for an application ... the catch is that you have to live in like the shoreline area ... which you should if ur going to this library ???
->>something about risk's boss person angie not loving him and loving us more. she wants to get involved in this meeting mabob and its like a pretend meeting (simulation if you will) where we rep the ppl that r supposed to be there... ask rick if ur interested...
->> volunteer hour keeping track stuff... you sign this thing to help rick keep track of ur hours
->> we talked for like 10 min about what kinda pizza we wanted, the result was two cheeze, a combo, and a vegie yummy! =d and drinks consisted of pepsi and sprite ... more yummy ... oh and we had like vegie munchies cuz the person there didn't show up ... so we ate it o.O
->> we went on about the book reviews... we realized that most of the books are repeats of past lists (question in our heads= do they have anything better to give us... what is they're job... why aren't they fired?... can we attack them with stuff O.O)
->> rick made some strange elephant noise
yeah that was it... hope you had fun at the meeting if you were there... if you weren't... poor baby *said in a silly obnoxious voice*
visit me again some time =]

Eric has put your lists in BWI!!!
Hopefully this will cut down on some of your work as many of the books have full text reviews right there waiting for your perusal.
+ If they are not there, you may still need to look up else where, (like Amazon).
+ If you don't see a list there with your name on it, or you don't remember how to get into BWI ... scroll down its at the very bottom ^__^

I just got my list in BWI (and so did you). So I'd like to plan a booklist meeting for Tuesday, February 10th from 4-6pm. Let me know if you can make it and I will sign you up. Pizza and soda will be provided, as always.
VERY IMPORTANT! I need people to come in and sign their volunteer timesheets right away. If you have any questions about whether or not you did it, call me NOW! I will be in all weekend. I need them done ASAP. Thanks!

Booklist meeting & the booklist process.
Let me know if you asked for a booklist but did not get it.
Also, let me know what you want on your pizza.

Choices of how you review the books:
1) go to amazon.com and find the book.
Double check the author to make sure it is the same one. Look at the editorial reviews (like Publisher's Weekly, VOYA, School Library Journal, Booklist, etc.) and customer reviews to get an idea of the book.
Look at the cover, and, if possible, use the "take a look inside" option.

2) Use databases like Proquest, Infotrac or Books in Print to find the books and look at the reviews there.
3) Go to a bookstore or library and find the book there, leaf through it, look at the cover, look at the back, smell it, etc. to get and idea of the book.

4) Feel free to read the book if you have time [if you are a loser and have nothing better to do ... i'm kidding]
5)The iPac Webcatalog has reviews from Publisher's Weekly of some books if you are in a hurry or just want to try it out.

The questions you should be asking about each item are:
1) Is this something that looks interesting to me or would I like to read it?
2) Who would this appeal to and would that group like to read it? So if it is a Star Trek book, would Sci Fi readers like it? etc.
3) Does this book have mass appeal and should I buy it just becasue it is soooo good?
