Resources

In spite of, or maybe because of, congress heading back to the hills for the elections, there is a nice variety of stories from the National Humanities Alliance. The October update chronicles everything from congressional action (or lack of) to Center for the Book Literature Awards.

Speaking of books and libraries, another good resource is the American Library Association's Association of College and Research Libraries website for resources and discussion lists. If you scroll down the page, you will find many different sites that may interest you. For instance, here is the one for Literatures in English.

For those of you who have not yet found the Carnegie Foundation website, their Perspectives page provides good essays about our work. This month it is about opening up dialogue between student teachers, teacher educators, and supervising teachers to create a "sharing of wisdom" around the practice of teaching.
