[Sfts-faculty] Klein Librarian update June 2024

[Phoenix Alexander]

Dear all,

I hope you're staying safe and cool—and happy belated Pride month!

The gays (including this one) are always busy in June, so this email is sneaking in a little late again—but lots of things have been going on in SCUA, including the filming of a super-exciting documentary project that I hope to be able to announce in the next few months!

I'll start with the June additions to the Eaton Collection:


  *
Materials from screenwriter Kenneth Johnson, including DVD, VHS, novel and script copies of his film and television work. These cover such franchises as V: The Original Miniseries, Alien Nation, The Bionic Woman, The Incredible Hulk, and many more!

  *
An almost-complete digital run of Dreams and Nightmares poetry zine.

  *
A huge collection of RPG game manuals from the 1980s-present, including such franchises as Dungeons and Dragons, Werewolf, Shadowrun, and Vampire: the Masquerade, among many others.

  *
Additions to our Harlan Ellison and Morris Scott Dollens archival collections (letters from the former and photographs of the latter).

The Nebula Awards were a blast, as was Mini Comic Fest, which took place the Saturday just gone (6/29). I had the privilege of meeting some really exciting creators, including the Riverside-based <https://shoutoutla.com/meet-sebrae-harris-animator-mangaka-artist-entrepreneur/> artist and comic creator <https://shoutoutla.com/meet-sebrae-harris-animator-mangaka-artist-entrepreneur/> Sebraé Harris<https://shoutoutla.com/meet-sebrae-harris-animator-mangaka-artist-entrepreneur/>. Definitely check out his work!

Until next (this?) month: sending warmth and light, as always! And given the temperature, a little bit of shade, too (though not the bad kind...)

Phoenix

Recommended book of the month:  The Vermillion Speedateer, Sebraé Harris (2022)
