Tudhope, Douglas, Traugott Koch and Rachel Heery. Terminology Services and Technology: JISC State of the Art Review [pdf version] Read through section 3.2.4, so far.

Mark, I think you exist just to make me realize how much professional reading I need to catch up on.
Must. Put. Away. Leisure. Books…

Don’t put away the leisure books. Or, at least not all of them.
The freaky part–that is, the part that makes me a freak–is that about half this list *was* for leisure.
The newspaper is almost a duty, with the only “fun” part being the funnies.
Everything from Tudhope to Janée is (now) class-related, but I read all of Svenonius on my own in the summer and would read many of the others whether I “needed” to our not.
Everything else is simply because I chose to. I am trying to do more “normal” leisure reading, too, but I need to finish Foucault, which was supposed to be leisure reading. Didn’t quite turn out that way.
Not sure what I’ll choose for my next leisure book but Silas Marner, Herodutus’ The Histories, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich and Henricus Cornelius Agrippa’s Declamation on the Nobility and Preeminence of the Female Sex are at the top of the list.
OK, so I’m completely *not* normal. le sigh. I guess it’s good that most days I don’t want to be.

Perhaps I should have said “must put down the non-LIS related books.” A lot of my leisure reading, like yours, would not be very relaxing to many people. In fact, I am currently stopping myself from dragging out all my folklore, material culture, and anthropological theory materials, but only because I really need to focus on class stuff right now. Sigh.
