Hello!

So my doc brought up that I have traits associated with Geschwind syndrome but he stressed it’s not fully recognized. So I was reading about it and it’s my entire personality. Like I have a compulsion to write it lead to me getting tested for ocd because of it. As I’ve gotten older I’ve become intensely fascinated with religion particularly in occultism. Like I think about it daily. I even wrote my masters thesis on it. And was offered a PhD on occultism and catholic theolgoy. I was supposed to start in September but do to the increase in seizure activity I’ve put that on hold.

I’ve never had any sexual intrest or desire ever like never I’ve gone to doctors for that as well. My family constantly complain that I take the long route to get to the point. As have my boss and friends.

I watch horror movies because the moral questions it raises fascinate me so much, like are villains really all that wrong. I’ve taken classes on the philosophy and idea or evil.

I’m not spiraling but it feels like my epilepsy as a child shaped my whole personality like the damage I sustained during my status episode and tonic clonic seizures created my whole personality. And I didn’t even know it. We know there’s damage because it’s been shown via testing.

Anyone else hear about this? I know it’s not fully recognized but damn I don’t even know what’s me and what’s me but influenced by the seizures.

For me it’s the ten key. I can punch out isbns like nobody’s business and I credit that to one of my coding classes in high school stressing the value of using the ten key section of the keyboard.

Hello! Fellow librarians.
I am a special collections librarian I largely deal with rare books/private collections and occasionally an academic or religious institution. Side rant- religious libraries are my main focus and passion. I am not religious but I find the material fascinating.

My cataloging question. A colleague and I were discussing terminology used is section 300 loc. We disagree on what’s appropriate terminology.

I use when dealing with illustrative material
Illustration
Photograph
Plate

I only use plate if they are actually plates. If not I use illustration or photograph. If I can’t tell and it’s not labeled illustration it is.

She uses illustrations or plates for everything. What do you all use. I don’t like to use plate if they’re just illustrations/photographs because I find it difficult to separate should someone want to see examples of actual plates in old books.

We are working separate collections so the catalogues are uniform, there’s no need to worry about variations in cataloging standards. I do separate prints, maps, tables, music etc.

Just curious!

Anyone know what’s on fire in the city center?
