Progressive Librarians Guild:
UA Chapter Newsletter
From the President
Nicole Pagowsky
Welcome to Progressive Librarians Guild: UA
Chapter’s first newsletter. As the founder and current President-elect, I thought I would give you some
background on how we got started, what a progressive
librarian is, and what we are looking to accomplish in
the near future.
Our chapter of PLG actually started out as
a local collective of Radical Reference, at the end of
the Fall 2007 semester; although we do still want to
have ties with Radical Reference,
we thought it would be a better
move to become an official chapter of PLG through SIRLS and
the UA for recognition and funding purposes. This change took
place this semester (Spring 2008),
and since February, we have been
PLG: UA.
So, what is a progressive
librarian? A progressive librarian
is an information professional
who defends and extends the
idea of libraries for the people, by
using LIS education and community ties to champion change for
all.
As the PLG parent site states:
“Members of PLG do not accept the sterile notion of
the neutrality of librarianship, and we strongly oppose
the commodification of information which turns the
‘information commons’ into privatized, commercialized zones. We will help to dissect the implications of
these powerful trends, and fight their anti-democratic
tendencies.”
Progressive librarians are relevant because librarianship
is political for a number of reasons: as information
professionals, we can be gatekeepers or distributors of
information, promoting or hindering equity of access
and open access, while fighting censorship; actions
of collection development, preservation, weeding, and
classification all shape the collective memory, and the
collective memory is what can influence our culture and
our society; and providing materials to the public for
self-education can pave the road to a successful democracy, because a true, working democracy would be nonexistent without an educated public.
Specific examples of these ideas can be realized
through what we have accomplished this semester, and
what we hope to do in the future.
This semester, we attended and
briefly spoke at “Of Friends and
Whirlwinds: Inquiry, Movements and ‘Constituent Imagination’: on research and radical
politics”, which was held at Dry
River (p. 2). We also contributed two Library of Congress
Subject Heading suggestions for
the Radical Reference LCSH
Blogging Party (p. 7). And, our
first fundraiser was a yoga workshop held at the main library,
led by our Events and Fundraising Coordinator, Rebecca
Bliquez, certified yoga instructor
(p. 5).
Next Fall semester, we
have a number of plans, including providing free workshops to the community; organizing events in town,
such as panel discussions, a Zine Fest, bringing Lost
Film Fest to Tucson, and organizing a small, non-profit
library. We also hope to have an official website up and
running, aside from our collaborative wiki. If any of this
interests you, and you are a SIRLS student, alumni, or
Tucson community library worker (at any level), we have
further information on becoming a member and also a
membership form (p. 11).
We are looking forward to our upcoming projects and hope you will join us!
Of Friends and Whirlwinds
Nicole Pagowsky
PLG: UA was contacted by Team Colors1 to
speak at Of Friends & Whirlwinds, which they had
organized at Dry River2. The focus of this event was on
the impact of research on social change, with discussion of the schism in activism, pertaining to antiintellectualism and bureaucratic boundaries. We were
asked to participate because information professionals
facilitate research, and our group is specifically interested in activism, so it was a great match.
As the Team Colors blog3 says about the event:
“A series of talks on inquiry and movements from the
upcoming journal In the Middle of a Whirlwind: 2008
Convention Protests, Movement and Movements and
in celebration of the AK Press collection Constituent
Imagination: Militant Investigations / Collective Theorization.”
Jeff Juris was the first speaker, and he is an
Assistant Professor of Anthropology at ASU West,
member of CAROB [Central Arizona Radicals Opposing Borders] and the ASU West Border Justice Group.
He spoke about ‘Militant Ethnography’, a phrase he
created to describe “a politically engaged and collaborative form of participant observation carried out from
within rather than outside of grassroots movements.
Traditional objectivist perspectives fail to grasp the
concrete logic of activist practice, leading to inadequate
accounts and theoretical models of little use to activists
themselves.”4 The point of this form of research is to
make findings more relevant to subsequent action for
the groups the information pertains to, and also to distinguish the difference between a ‘capital A Activst’ and
an ‘activist’; the former more prone to self-righteousness, and not being as truly immersed in the relevant
communities. He also delineated publishing for the
university bureaucracy in contrast to publishing freely
in regards to ‘copyleft’5, with implications and possible
cognitive dissonance engaged from the former. A great
discussion evolved from his talk, including some participants sharing how they felt internal conflict about
the potentiality of returning to the university. (As the
Team Colors Blog states, Jeff Juris’ talk was “an expansion of his article in Constituent Imagination: ‘Bridging the divide between activism and research: Militant
Ethnography as a tool for social transformation’”.)
Craig Hughes was the next speaker: a collective member of Team Colors (Craig Hughes, Conor
2
Cash, & Kevin Van Meter). Their main page explains
the purpose of the collective as, “to explore questions
of everyday resistance, mutual aid, the imposition of
work, social reproduction, class composition, community participation and the commons – by creating engaging workshops and producing provocative written
documents and articles.” Craig spoke about “‘DIY and
the movement beyond capitalism in the United States’
(An expansion on his essay in Constituent Imagination)”. It was interesting to hear effectiveness of
different kinds of activism, such as the punk and DIY
movement not posing an actual threat to corporations
or oppressive government entities. How to potentially
remedy this was interwoven with Jeff’s discussion of
“Activist” and “activist”: how often in counterculture
movements in the United States, there can be misanthropic tendencies – getting frustrated and fed up with
the people activists are trying to help is not going to
help solve the problem. Understanding why people
are different and how they make their decisions can
promote a more holistic plan for working together; if a
person’s basic needs are not being met, they won’t have
as much interest in issues on a larger scale. A discussion then formed about what issues within activism
are felt to be most important, as well as what connotations the term “revolution” has for people, as it is often
present in punk and DIY-movement rhetoric. Many
participants said the word conjured negative images,
such as desolation or apocalypse. A lot of interesting
points were brought up.
Progressive Librarians Guild spoke last, with
myself (Nicole Pagowsky) representing our group.
I explained what PLG is and how activism can be a
large part of librarianship, as well as our present and
future goals. I also explained our roots, which are in
PLG (parent organization) and Radical Reference6.
The PLG parent organization was started in 1990 by
information professionals tired of ‘business as usual’,
where no one was taking a strong stand on issues. PLG
was hoping to ignite progressive change in libraries
and dissuade librarians from taking too neutral of
a stance. Since its formation, PLG has participated
in activist events, such as taking action or standing
in solidarity with other groups, and publishes the
Progressive Librarian periodical, as well as books,
collectively, or by individual members. Radical Reference was formed in 2004 in NYC, in response to the
Republican National Convention. Librarian volunteers
provided ‘street reference’ to activists, which consisted
of actually getting out into the streets and answering
questions and providing information.7 Radical Reference
also supplied ‘ready reference kits’, which included city
facts on transportation, emergency phone numbers, and
other essential information. Radical Reference has now
expanded to include local collectives all over the country,
as well as some international groups. Services include
community outreach and taking action on local issues.
They are probably most well-known, however, for providing virtual reference services to activists and independent journalists through the Radical Reference website.
Individuals can ask questions, (mostly) anonymously,
of specific concern to topics pertaining or tangential
to activism. See the website for examples of questions
asked. A few of us from PLG also volunteer with Radical
Reference.
We were happy to be included in this engaging
and informative event, and if these topics are of interest to the reader, the following resources provide further

Featured Community Group: Dry River Collective
Jacy Bell
The Dry River Collective
is a radical community group
in Tucson which describes itself
in its mission statement as “an
autonomous group of individuals working to create a community based on sustainability,
cooperation, and self-sufficiency.
[They] promote education and
direct action to resist all forms of
oppression and hierarchy.” Dry
River, founded in 2003, initially
got its start as a space as an infoshop with zines in a small corner
of the all ages venue, Scrappy’s.
In 2006, the Collective found
its own space to rent on Main
Street at University Boulevard,
and that is where the Dry River
Radical Resource Center has
been located ever since, a place its
members describes as “a community arts center for the
rest of us.” Carrie Mott, Collective member, explains
Dry River’s objective, “What Dry River is trying to
do is offer an alternative to people and provide a space
where different kinds of events can happen that are generated from the community…We just want there to be
a place for people to create and do something different,

Q & A With “Cat and Girl” Creator Dorothy Gambrell
Q: What is the idea behind Cat and Girl, and how
long have you been doing it for?
Dorothy: A large Cat and small Girl live together and
sabotage adventure with personal reflection and sabotage personal reflection with puns. The whole mess has
been going on now for an unseemly nine years.
Q: Are any of the characters based on people you
know?
Dorothy: At this sad point most of the characters predate most of the people I know.
Q: Tell us about Donation Derby…
Dorothy: When people donate money to me I draw
a picture of how I spend it, post the picture online
and then mail the original drawing to the donor. How
many cancer research foundations do that?
4
Q: Do you do any other comics, writing, or artwork?
Dorothy: On occasion. When asked. I keep a miscellany blog at http://www.verysmallarray.com.
Q: I heard a rumor you had been considering going to
school for library and information science before deciding to focus just on your comic; want to talk about
your interest in that at all?
Dorothy: I like information. I like knowing how to
find information, and I like the different ways systems
seek to manage, control and organize information. And
both of my parents were librarians. I never really stood
a chance.
-Nicole Pagowsky
Continued from page 3
that’s something unique and new.”
The Dry River Collective is comprised of volunteers who donate their time and money to keep the
space open. There is a core group of people who donate money for rent each month; Dry River also seeks
donations at events and their website’s PayPal account.
They have weekly meetings on Wednesday evenings
which are open to any who are interested; it is at these
meetings that decisions are made using consensus. The
Collective hopes to one day own a permanent space in
Tucson.
But in the meantime, Dry River is an all ages
venue and a drug and alcohol free space that welcomes all. As stated on their MySpace page, “NONE
WILL BE TURNED AWAY from any event, class,
or resource due to lack of money…and [Dry River]
welcomes all people regardless of race, gender, sexual
identity, and age.” There is no fee to use the space and
everything at Dry River is by donation. The Resource
Center functions as an infoshop, music venue and free
school. It is an open space equipped with a stage, a
free store, computer lab, and a small lending and zine
library. They hold a variety of events from benefits
to movie screenings to skill shares and workshops, as
well as offer free Spanish, screen printing, yoga and
self-defense classes regularly. Eric Richardson, another
Collective member, states, “This whole thing is really
an experiment. I think one of the things we’ve done is
opened the doors and gotten the word out to as many
people as we can in the community and sort of let the
people that aren’t necessarily involved in the Collective
decide what they want to happen here.”
Upcoming events include weekly punk shows
and a music festival. Dry River also hosts a bi-weekly
Anti-Civ, Anti-Reading Circle group, and has regular
open hours on Fridays from 12-4pm. Also, PLG will
soon collaborate with the Collective on a project to
organize, catalog and update their check out system for
their zine and color-coded lending library.
So, if your interest has been piqued, check
them out on their website, MySpace page, YouTube
video, or simply drop in. As Carrie professed what
she likes most about Dry River is that “it’s not limited
to just activists, and it’s not limited to just anarchists
or just people into punk shows. Anyone is welcome
here!”

PLG Yoga Fundraiser
PLG’s first fundraiser included a relaxation
yoga class taught by yoga instructor and PLG officer
Rebecca Bliquez. PLG hopes to repeat this event in
Fall 2008 and include a discussion about concepts
from the book “Aftershock” by Pattrice Jones regarding
the relation between physical de-stressing and physically maintaining balance. The discussion will emphasize
the psychological and somatic issues relevant to higherrisk activism.”

Book Reviews
and terrorism as vehicles for intimidation and arrest.
-Nicole Pagowsky
Terrorists or Freedom Fighters? : Reflections on the
Liberation of Animals
Edited by Steven Best and Anthony J. II Nocella
The No-Nonsense Guide to
World History
Chris Brazier
This book chronicles
the beginnings and current
state of the Animal Liberation Front, an anonymous
group of individual “cells”
of activists who commit
to no violence against any
animals (human or nonhuman), and use direct
action to rescue non-human animals from conditions they are in, such as
mink farms, medical and
cosmetic testing labs, and
factory farms. Eco-terrorism and animal-enterprise terrorism are terms thrown around often by the government, especially after 9/11, and these essays debate
whether direct action by the ALF to rescue animals
being used and abused for vivisection, factory farming,
the fur industry, and others can truly be considered
terrorism or not; the main focus here is a discussion
on if destruction of property should be considered
terrorism, and if aiming to only rescue these nonhuman animals consists of trying to terrorize human
oppresors. Comparisons are made to the Abolitionist
movement, feminism and women’s rights, and actions
taken against Hitler’s Nazis by Jews and other groups.
It is oft a delicate situation to compare anything to
the Holocaust or slavery, but if one views animals as
living, breathing creatures with feelings, both physical and emotional, what we as humans do to exploit
these non-human animals is shocking; because there
are people who feel non-human animals are objects
belonging to humans to exploit, there are also essays
discussing, philosophically, how and why animals
should be considered comparative to humans, and
why it is then possible to relate animal exploitation,
torture, and slaughter to slavery, the holocaust, and
issues taken up by the Women’s Liberation Movement.
This book is fascinating and really explores issues involved in the animal rights movement, its connections
to other movements, and how far the government
should really be allowed to go in using the terms terror
This book lives up
to its title... it really is a
no-nonsense guide to world
history. Brazier gives an
excellent overview with just
enough detail to keep the
reader engaged. This version
of world history also examines information left out via
white, Christian, upper class
male privledge (terms describing those who usually
wrote history), and fills the reader in on what women
were doing and how some Europeans created opinions
and “facts” about non-white groups to justify brutalization and pillaging, while providing further information explaining the truth about these civilizations and
their advancements. The book is living and breathing-not stale--and provides an excellent overview of the
history of our world. -Nicole Pagowsky

The Bachelor Girl: 100
Years of Breaking the
Rules - a Social History of
Living Single
Betsy Israel
I spotted this book on
the sale table at the ASU
bookstore and decided,
hey, why not. It was only
$5 and had cool action
figures on the cover! All
joking aside, this book is
a fascinating read. As the
title suggests, it chronicles the lives of single women
and perceptions of single women throughout the span
of American history. What I especially loved about
this book is the way it describes of single and working women incorporating impressions from a variety
of sources including personal diaries, the press, film
and other popular media. Very cool and interesting to
note the different stereotypes about singles, working
girls, spinsters, “Old Maids,” etc. Reading this book
made me realize that society’s perception of the single
lady, although very different from the 19th century,
is still laced with stigmatization. I still see a lot more
concern and hand-wringing over the “singleton” status
of ladies than that of guys - even from the most liberated of quarters. A great read, highly recommend it!

Double Fold: Libraries
and the Assault on Paper
Nicholson Baker
This book is actually a
required text for my IRLS
541 Preservation class
but it’s definitely worth
a read for anyone that is
interested in history and
the preservation of material culture. This book
describes a trend in libraries (both U.S. and abroad) of
destroying paper copies of historic journals and newspapers and replacing them with microfilm or scanned
copies. The Library of Congress and British Library are
both cited as “culprits” in this document destruction
effort. According to the author, the microfilm copies
are often incomplete, difficult to read and deteriorating from exposure to light, fungi or poor storage with
no original paper copies extant to replace them. The
author argues that the justifications for paper destruction such as lack of storage space and cost-effectiveness, are inadequate. I found his research and arguments to be very compelling and as a future librarian,
I found the “gorey” scenes where original documents
are hacked apart in warehouses by “guillotines” to be
pretty disturbing. Another great read! -Rebecca Bliquez
Radical Reference Library of Congress Subject Headings
Blogging Party
Nicole Pagowsky
Jenna Freedman of Radical Reference (http://
www.radicalreference.info) organized a Library of
Congress Subject Headings Blogging Party in April. As
stated on the site, “Do subject headings still matter?
We say they do. Does the Library of Congress always
identify accessible and appropriately named headings
and implement them in a timely manner? We say not
always.”
How this blogging party worked was that anyone interested could either write a blog post, make a comment
on the original post on the Radical Reference site, or
send an email, discussing at least one suggestion for
a new or revised subject heading or cross-reference at
the Library of Congress (which obviously also has a far
reach, as many institutions go by the LCSH, and do
copy-cataloging). These suggestions could be original
or come from a list proposed by Sandy Berman (http://
jenna.openflows.com/files/lcshscorecard080415.pdf ).
Our chapter of PLG participated in this by
submitting two subject heading suggestions from
Sandy Berman’s list. We proposed “Bollywood Films”
and “Freeganism”; our blog entry
(http://plg-sirls.blogspot.com/2008/04/rad-refs-lcshblogging-party.html) follows:
“Dear Library of Congress,
Progressive Librarians Guild: UA Chapter would like
you to please add both Bollywood Films (proposed
by Sanford Berman 14 August 2007) and Freeganism
(also proposed by Sanford Berman, 28 June 2007).
This post is part of the Radical Reference Library of
Congress Subject Heading Suggestion Blog-a-Thon.
1. Bollywood Films
When searching LC’s online catalog, you have 103
entries for the keyword “Bollywood”. According to
Wikipedia, it is one of the biggest film producers in
the world. Many of your collected materials even have
the term Bollywood in the title, such as Bollywood: the
Indian cinema story by Nasreen Munni Kabir.

From the publisher’s description, “Culture and Global
Change presents a comprehensive introduction to
the cultural aspects of third world development. It
contains 25 chapters from leading writers in the field
which each offer their own particular take on ‘culture’
and explore the significance and meaning of cultural
issues for different people in different parts of the contemporary world... this book considers the relationship
between culture and development within a truly global
context.” This describes Culture and Global Change
edited by Tracey Skelton and Tim Allen. If Bollywood
is an important cultural issue and has had a part in
influencing development in the Indian subcontinent,
it should be substantial enough to warrant a subject
heading.
2. Freeganism
Although a neologism, it still is not too new of a term
to include; it began, officially, in the mid 1990’s. This
not only describes a movement, but an important extension of veganism, which “although the term “vegan”
started in the United Kingdom about 50 years ago
with the formation of the Vegan Society, the practice
of not eating animal products actually began long ago.”
(from VeganNet)
There are 124 entries in the LC online catalog for the
8
keyword “vegan”, and 212,000 entries on Google for “freeganism”.
The site, Freegan.info explains the
movement as,
“Freeganism is a total boycott of
an economic system where the
profit motive has eclipsed ethical
considerations and where massively complex systems of productions
ensure that all the products we
buy will have detrimental impacts
most of which we may never even
consider. Thus, instead of avoiding the purchase of products from
one bad company only to support
another, we avoid buying anything
to the greatest degree we are able.”
Considering the increase of people
interested in socially responsible,
green living, it would be an important topic to be able to research. Even Oprah had a segment
on Freegans!
Most of the publications about the topic seem to be
blogging and articles, yet not many books, but hopefully
that will change in the near future. Having a subject
heading for it might influence more non-electronic-only
publications.
Sincerely,
PLG: UA Chapter”
The blog party was listed in Library Journal and
two of our suggestions were noted in the brief list of
examples.
As Jenna continues on the Rad Ref site, “All you
have to do is spend one day behind a reference desk to
see examples of biased, non-inclusive, and counterintuitive classifications that slow down, misdirect, or even
obscure information from library users. As librarians
and library workers, providing access to information is
important-and classifying it in ways that are inclusive
and intuitive strengthens our egalitarian mission.”
All results were posted on the website (http://radicalreference.info/taxonomy/term/620), along with the response from Library of Congress.
PLG Welcoming Social Event!
PLG members and friends met on 9 April 2008 at Bison Witches for food, fun and drinks! This was a
great opportunity for members not only to mingle and get to know one another, but for prospective members to
meet current PLGers and learn a bit more about the new club. We’ll keep you posted for the next social event!
Clockwise from the left: Paulita Kewanwytewa, Sho Ikeda, Danielle Stanley, Lisa Dillivan, Nicole Pagowsky, Arvey
Basa, and Jacy Bell.
Considering membership with PLG: UA? Here’s a rundown on joining our chapter!
1. WHO CAN JOIN PLG?
Library and Information Science students at SIRLS,
alumni of SIRLS, and current library workers in Tucson at any level can join.
If you are interested in joining the PLG parent organization, please go to their website for more information on
dues and benefits:
http://libr.org/plg/index.php
2. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
$20 for 2 years of membership
4. HOW MUCH OF A COMMITTMENT DO I
NEED TO MAKE?
As much or as little as you would like. We have bi-weekly meetings, collaborate on our wiki, and promote discussion through our listserv. We don’t require a certain
amount of participation, but do encourage at least some.
However, if you choose to run for an officer position,
most will require a substantial time commitment.
3. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JOINING?
PLG: UA is one of only six student chapters of PLG
in the country, and currently the newest, so you would
have the opportunity to shape the direction of our
chapter and help build our programs, events, and
structure. You would be able to participate in creating
our newsletter, work with Tucson community groups
to create ties and organize events, and get to know fellow students in the SIRLS program, alumni, and community library workers. It probably wouldn’t look bad
on your resume, either. Please complete the membership form and pay the appropriate dues.
5. WHERE DO I SEND MY DUES?
You can send them C/O our Treasurer to the SIRLS
building:

6. WHAT IF I’M A DISTANCE STUDENT IN
THE SIRLS PROGRAM OR AN ALUMNI WHO
HAS MOVED OUT OF TUCSON?
Distance members are able to attend meetings through
Breeze, collaborate on the wiki and through the listserv, and contribute to our newsletter. Distance students can also run for certain officer positions (Webmaster/Newsletter Editor, Events Coordinator, and
Fundraising Coordinator).
10. I’M NOT A LIS STUDENT, ALUMNI, OR
WORKER; HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE?
We are unable to take individuals as members who do
not fall in the above categories; however, we are very
interested in collaborating with community groups, so
please do get in touch with us if you are with another
group!
PLG: UA Officers
7. WHO CAN BE AN OFFICER?
Because we are a University group, only students can
run for officer positions; however, any paying member
can become a “Project Manager”. A Project Manager
(PM) takes the lead in organizing a particular event,
and reports information to the Events Coordinator.
There can be more than one PM per project.

8. I’VE NEVER REALLY DONE ANY ACTIVISM IN THE PAST; WOULD I FEEL AWKWARD
JOINING?
No; you do not have to be a “seasoned” activist to join
PLG: simply an interest in progressive librarianship
and hopefully a willingness to participate and collaborate with us is all we ask.
Secretary
Jacy Bell
