Slow build

Development of my wiki (focused mostly on Library Instruction and expanding web site listings) and the reigns of teaching BHCTI 5000 (Gateway) for BHCTI has not stopped me entirely on my quest to place 10K or so full-view ebooks I'd discovered into Google Book libraries where they can be found easily and sorted by Library of Congress letter ranges, BHCTI areas of concentration, and suchlike 'bookshelves;' but it has sure slowed me down. We hit 1,600 'reviewed' items in the second collection, BHCTILibraryToo ('Too' for short) today; that makes our combined take about 4,100 items in both current collections (the other is located at the first BHCTILibrary, the BHCTILibrary proper, so to speak; therefore, 'Proper' for short). If Google retains its current ceilings of 2.5K titles per collection, I've got about 1.4K left to add to 'Too' before I create a third Googlebook library; I'm going to try speeding that process up with weekly adds there, and updates here. It's been my hope for a while now; and like Bilbo hoping for his eggs and toast in the Hobbit, 'not for the last time.' Stay tuned...

Posting, modern or not...

Winter Colloquy's coming, and you may want to bone up on your invited presenters ahead of time.

• There are quite a few full text articles of Merold Westphal available in our ATLA databases (now on the Ebsco platform); I'd submit his 2003 piece for the Christian Century, 'Blindspots: Christianity and Postmodern Culture' will give you an advanced taste of his substance and style.
• Similarly, B. Keith Putt surely scores a birdie with 'Risking love and the divine "perhaps:"postmodern poetics of a vulnerable God' in 2007's Summer issue of Perspectives in Religious Studies.
• You'll find more articles by both, and the ebook Modernity and its Discontents by Westphal, full text in Questia.
