[Sfts-faculty] Klein Librarian update October 2024

[Phoenix Alexander]

Dear all,

HAPPY HALLOW— checks calendar ...November 1st! I hope you're having a great spooky season, and that the Candy Gods blessed you with oodles of the good stuff.

A short and sweet update this month, starting with new acquisitions:

  *
Pardio, The White Africans (1879). An early example of the 'lost race' genre.

  *
Kathleen Lindsay, Unbroken Barriers (1940). A fast-paced tale of planetary exploration.

  *
Mrs. Charles Wilder Glass, Ruth's Marriage in Mars: A Scientific Novel (1912). An early female-authored SF title (from Los Angeles!)

I wanted to re-up the CfP for the next issue of Vector: the Journal of the British Science Fiction Association: Issue 301, ‘The Future of Food’—Call for proposals (vector-bsfa.com)<https://vector-bsfa.com/2024/09/14/cfp-the-future-of-food/>

...and speaking of CfP, here's another—for the next Eaton Conference, scheduled for April 4th-5th, 2025! 24-25 Conference CFP.pdf - Google Drive<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AVXufNHQQFN00hrpVBOOsl2jMpv5-_ss/view>

Do submit, and mark your calendars!

...and speaking of marking your calendars, save the date of January 8th, 2025, for a one-day virtual Eaton Symposium that is gathering a veritable syzygy of names in the genre. I'm so excited to share the program with you all in the next few weeks.

...and speaking of syzygy... Just kidding! That's it for now.

Warmth and light,

Phoenix

We at UCR would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Cahuilla, Tongva, Luiseño, and Serrano peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. Today this meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including UCR faculty, students, and staff, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands.
