Star Trek at the Online Archive of California

Favorite reference question of the night so far! The researcher was looking for the Gene Roddenberry Star Trek Television Series Collection, 1966-1969 at UCLA, but I was surprised by how many results there were for “star trek” overall.

Others of note:

the Ron Moore [of Battlestar Galactica] Collection at USC

the Contemporary American Comic Book Collection, ca. 1962 - ca. 1994 at Stanford

the Kirk/Spock Slash Fiction Zine Collection at ONE National Gay and Lesbian Archives

the Star Trek Association of Irvine Publications at UC Irvine

This was totally the first thing I searched my first day working at UCLA Library.

Christmas tree made of books. I would like to make smaller versions: a red and green one, and a blue and silver one. Better start collecting appropriately binded books for next year.

“We separated print resources and e-resources because ‘clearly’ they are completely different beasts. Are they so separate and distinct to users’ mind? Not so much. But we separate them for the efficiency of ‘our’ operation. Users pay by being forced to take an additional step. Probably a decision as bad as Netflix and Qwikster.” Netflix and Libraries: You Are What “Your Users” Think You Are, Not What You Think You Are – Library Hat (via shrinkinglibrarian)

I don’t want to read a book in this library. I want to write a book that takes place in this library.
