Live from the CUCS
Today Katie's work space at the CUCS was usurped for the duration of her time in Ukraine. We all hope her journey is safe and that she returns with many photographs.
I have begun to catalog Dr. Hlynka's collection of Chernobyl-inspired tracks on twenty CDs. The catalog format is a virtual bookshelf, utilizing the librarything.com website. These CDs are pertinent to Ukrainian cultural studies in Canada and all over the world because they are examples of what other nations and non-Ukrainians (or non-descendants thereof) make of Ukraine and aspects of Ukrainian culture and its history.
I am currently experimenting with the best way to link my password-protected bookshelf to my blog for easy access. In the next week I will also be creating virtual Mazeppa and Ukrainian Canadian bookshelves to link to the site, as mentioned in a previous post. These "shelves" will be a useful tool to connect related literature and music to my blog and others - should St. Andrew's College or the CUCS decide they would like to adopt such a feature on their blogs, I will have some experience and will be able to catalog whatever selections are made.
