wicked duty, PST or GST on the stuff you bought in the US? Check Moving
Back to Canada to plan ahead.
Tuesday,
May 14 - Washington DC was great, Library of Congress
wonderful, and the Folger Shakespeare Library (right behind LC) was
absolutely amazing! Visited the Canadian Embassy for everyone ...
they could really use a CanLit exhibit ... made me lonesome for
home. Speaking of cravings, if you are desperate for President's
Choice food, Eatmores or Cherry Blossoms, you can order them
at http://www.canadianfavourites.com
... they are down the street from me in Florida, but all their stuff
is shipped straight from Canada. Major drag ... wanted to save on
those shipping charges!
Thursday, May 9 -
Off to Library of Congress for my first visit. A Canadian Librarian
in Washington! Remember the loonie buried at center ice when Canada
won the gold medal at the Olympics? Maybe I should hide one at LC
too ... :-)
Monday, May 6 - Groovy
statistics ... in 1998, 58,469 Canadians were allowed into the

many librarians ... US GovDocs is so much fun!!! See http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/aboutins/statistics/Temp98Excel/Table40.xls

The CanLib Weblog begins! If you are unfamiliar with the notion of a
weblog, read on ...
"Weblogs, typically, are Web sites operated by
individuals who compile chronological lists of links to stuff that
interests them, interspersed with information, editorializing and
personal asides. A good weblog is updated often, in a kind of
real-time improvisation, with pointers to interesting events, pages,
stories and happenings elsewhere on the Web. New stuff piles on top
of the page; older stuff sinks to the bottom." - Salon
magazine
So, hopefully this page will evolve
as information comes up in the area of Canadian Librarianship in
America. If you have any interesting links to pass along, please
