When will someone need to borrow a taxidermied animal? Smithsonian Magazine featured Alaska Resources Library and Information Services (ARLIS) in this article.
The Bata Shoe Museum has over 13,000 items in its Toronto location. It houses 4,500 years of history from all over the world. Some displays were devoted to the shoe making process, inclusion of gold, classism associated with footwear, among other things.
Highlights included small and large shoes that demonstrated a craftsmen’s skills, the origin and use of Western heels, materials to make them (i.e. hair, grass, animal skins), tools used in the arctic, gender identity in the design, and bizarre floral patterns.
The Great Divide exhibit highlighted how shoes were a part of codifying identity, socio-economic status, and empire.

I graduated from Western University’s Library and Information Science program five years ago.
In August 2015, I submitted my final class assignment. I was both relieved that my schooling was behind me, but also worried about what lie ahead. Would I be able to find work? How long would the job hunt be? If I didn’t find anything, what were my alternatives?
After several contracts, I’m now in a permanent position and have grounded myself within the tech field. My knowledge of software, such as SharePoint and O365, has grown by leaps and bounds.
My creative goals to get traditionally published and self-published have been achieved and I hope to continue writing and sharing my works.
I want to share some advice to help those who will/have graduated and are uncertain about their future:
