Hey there - instructional librarian here at a community college. I've encountered a student (female, freshman) who decided to give me a nickname (a derivative of my first name) during a recent, casual info lit session. I laughed the first time, and ignored it the second time, but yesterday the brat passed me with a couple of her friends and called me by the nickname again, mockingly. I ignored it, but I'm starting to get annoyed (which is probably what she wants). We have a student code of conduct at our campus, but it's rarely enforced unless the student behavior is egregious (i.e., threatening or violent). Any words of advice?

EDIT: Thanks everyone, for your input! I haven't seen the girl since, so I haven't had the chance to put any of these suggestions into action.

Hi, folks! Academic librarian here - I have a prof who is looking for a specific type of monograph for his students to use to teach critical thinking and diversified viewpoints.

We've all seen these and have in them our collections: an edited volumed that is a collection of essays/writings by different authors all centered on one theme. I see these a lot in literature crit but I've also seen them in just about every subject area.

Here's my question - what are these called, exactly? I've seen everything from 'course readers' to 'scholarly anthologies', 'compendiums', etc. I ask because this prof is asking for a way to show students how to search for this particular type of monograph in our catalog (and e-book databases) and I'm hitting lots of roadblocks. Does anyone have suggestions?
