Subject: RE: Fractured Fairy Tales
To me a fractured fairy tale is one which uses the basic elements of a
familiar tale, but then gives them a little twist (or sometimes a big
twist). Some examples are The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig,
Cinder Edna, The Emperor Penguin's New Clothes, Cinderella Penguin and the
Little Glass Flipper, Little Red Riding Hood; a New-Fangled Prairie Tale,
The True Story of the Three Little Pigs. There are many, many more, but
these are the ones that are coming to mind. The version of Beauty and the
Beast illustrated by Barry Moser is not really fractured, but uses the basic
story, only sets it in a different time and place than one would expect in
the traditional versions.

I believe a fractured fairy tale is one that has been changed, adapted
and/or made humorous in some way. I can only think of the book "The Stinky
Cheese Man", an adaptation of the Gingerbread man. There's also the tale of
the Three Little Pigs told from the Wolf's point of view. The other tales I
can think of would not be approprate for young children. The Magic Ring and
other young adult titles are too old/mature for the retelling, though they
are great stories for YA's!

Subject: RE: Taking back our profession
In response to Dorothy Broderick's request for reactions:
1) Why would you give 331 faculty members control over the institution of
libraries? In the past it has been the choice of the institution of the library
to ask institutions of higher learning to educate those of our profession. With
the acceleration of change and the addition of computer technology, it may very
well become impractical to expect another institution to educate our
professionals about the particulars of libraries that are changing so fast. What
we need to know increasingly needs to be updated. What we learn in library
school no longer lasts an entire career. For now library schools function well
for us, but for how long?
In our library, we have recently added many professional people from a variety
of fields. It is becoming important to educate them to aspects of
"library"
as they design our computer systems, represent us to our patrons and educate
us. Perhaps as libraries add trainers to teach computer skills, we should look
at using "our own" people to train employees about library practices
and issues. We have lots of good "professional" people in our system
that could use pieces of that kind of training and haven't been to library
school.
2) If the public using libraries has a clear idea in mind as to what it
expects and wants from the institution, then why are we so concerned about it
disappearing? The period of history in which library schools educated
librarians has actually been quite short. Yet the history of libraries goes
way back. I think the issue is not "will library schools changing their
titles
kill libraries," but rather, "what is the most efficient way to
educate people
in the knowledge of our institution?"
3) I have a hard time believing that library educators are out to destroy
libraries. But I do realize that they operate within a different institution
than libraries. Suppose they were to wed themselves so much to libraries that
the schools felt the need for a separate department to educate information
specialists with other careers in mind. Then the library department has
direct competition rather than an increased influence within the institution
of higher education. Personally, I'd rather give them the ability to include
any group that increases their prestige. What I want from them is good, usable
knowledge that can be adapted to whatever library or other job necessary. If
they fail to provide all that libraries need, then libraries will have to pick
up the slack. Am I making it too simple?

ubject: Libraries & The Simpsons
I'm a library school student collecting information on everyone's
favorite TV family The Simpsons, and the role of libraries in the show. As
we know, Lisa Simpson often visits the library to find help with whatever
sticky situation she and Bart have gotten themselves into.
I would love to hear your opinions on this. I once read that Lisa
Simpson was the inspiration for many young girls to take up playing the
saxaphone, so I wondered if she also inspired any kids to visit libraries.
If you would like to comment on the perception of libraries in the
Simpsons show, or the perception of libraries in society, or the impact of
the Simpsons on society, please respond to me directly at
scannell@msus1.msus.edu.
I appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

Subject: C.S. Lewis picture books
The picture book versions of the Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe are
published by Harper Collins.
I decided to send this answer to the entire list rather than just the
poster because it touches on an issue which has been bothering me for some
time.
I hate these watered down versions of classics which many publishers are
producing these days. The Lewis picture books do have pretty good
illustrations, but I can't see the point. Why not wait until a child is
old enough to read the original book or have it read to him/her? These
diluted versions miss the complexity and depth and wonder of the "real
thing." I should point out that I hate abridged versions of anything from
Shakespeare (those bowdleredized versions of the plays we got in school
with the fun bits taken out!) to classic comics. I do however enjoy
stories in other media such as the
Wonderworks T.V. version of the Narnia books and the recent BBC radio
plays.
This seems to be a trend with publishers. There's the endless "Little
House on the Prarie" spin off books, the new Seuss books using the old
characters and the board book versions of lots of picture books.
This seems to me to be a cut and paste exercise by the publishers, using
books they already own to spin off a few more bucks. I would much rather
they published new material from all the very talented writers and
illustrators out there, or kept more good titles in print.
Please believe that this is not an attack on anyone who does have these
books in their libraries. If they meet your collection policies and
patron needs, that's fine. However it is a concern of mine and I wondered
if anyone else shares it.
Thanks for giving me a forum to discuss this issue. PUBYAC is great.

A fractured fairy tale is a fairy tale rewritten with a
humorous/unusual twist. Examples: "The True Story of the 3 Little
Pigs" by Scieszka; "Politically Correct Bedtime Stories" by
Garner;
"Little Red Cowboy Hat" by Lowell. The term first appeared on
"The
Rocky and Bullwinkle Show," where fractured fairy tales were
occasionally featured along with Moose and Squirrel, Dudley, and the
rest of the gang. Take a look at "Fractured Fairy Tales" in SLJ,
Oct. 97, pp. 50-51.

ANNOUNCEMENT
February 25, 1998
UC Berkeley Extension announces the following two cataloging
short courses in San Francisco. The instructor for both courses
is CELIA BAKKE, M.L.S., Head of the Cataloging Department at the
Clark Library, San Jose State University (SJSU). Ms. Bakke
teaches advanced cataloging classes and classification at the
School of Library and Information Science, SJSU.
To enroll, call (510) 642-4111. For more information about these
courses call (650) 833-0119 or email kyi@unx.berkeley.edu.
CATALOGING BASICS (EDP 023184)
(0.6 ceu)
Knowledge of cataloging principles is essential for effective
information retrieval. This course, designed specifically for
library support staff or volunteers, is also useful for
librarians with no cataloging education or experience or with
knowledge that may be out of date. The instructor provides a
broad overview of the purpose of the catalog; the advantages and
limitations of different types of catalogs; and the structure of
catalogs, including authority control, file arrangement, and
development of cataloging records using the MARC format. Emphasis
is placed on using AACR2, the Library of Congress Subject
Headings, and the ALA Filing Rules. Course information is
applicable to any cataloging situation -- card, online, or CD-ROM.
Enrollment is limited.
Date: March 5, Thurs., 9:30 am-4:30 pm
Place: San Francisco: Room 1, UC Extension Downtown, 150 Fourth
St., Sixth Floor (near Moscone Center at Howard)
Fee: $135
COPY CATALOGING (EDP 023176)
(0.6 ceu)
This course provides an introduction to copy cataloging for
library support staff with limited or no copy cataloging
experience, and for librarians who wish a refresher. Emphasis is
on books and on the book format. The instructor begins with a
review of AACR2, including general rules for description and
choice of entry. She discusses the need for a well-defined
library policy for the copy cataloging process and identifies
important issues in relation to areas of the cataloging record
that can affect the local catalog. Examples of bibliographic and
authority records are provided to illustrate the issues and to
serve as a basis for discussion. The basics of MARC format are
presented, with an emphasis on identifying the correspondence
between the descriptive and access elements of the bibliographic
record and the MARC fields and tags. Hands-on exercises allow you
to practice assigning MARC tags to specific items. At the end of
the day you should understand the basic issues and corresponding
decisions of the copy cataloging process and be able to identify
the fields and tags of the MARC format. Enrollment is limited.
Prerequisite: Cataloging Basics or familiarity with cataloging
principles.
Date: Mar. 26, Thurs., 9:30 am-4:30 pm
Place: San Francisco: Room 1, UC Extension Downtown, 150 Fourth
St., Sixth Floor (near Moscone Center at Howard)
Fee: $135
