Watch/listen to this fascinating interview with Phyllis Karas, New York Times bestseller, who speaks about her latest book, 'THE CURSE OF THE BLUMENTHALS', a book about tragedy and violence that struck this Jewish family, and how love was able to stop the curse. 1. Jewish Families Often Buried Painful Secrets Timeline: 04:35 – 06:45 Karas discusses how Jewish immigrant families frequently concealed shameful or painful truths. Divorce, alcoholism, crime, prison, and violence were hidden from children and outsiders. She describes uncovering long-buried family secrets through research and writing. Major revelations: She discovered her mother had been previously divorced Family never discussed who caused the fatal crash Relatives whispered about crime and prison in secrecy 2. Writing the Book Became an Act of Truth-Telling and Healing Timeline: 08:07 – 10:00 and 32:35 – 36:30 Karas explains that writing Curse of the Blumenthals required courage. She feared hurting relatives or exposing painful family wounds. Yet the book ultimately became an attempt to preserve memory, honor the dead, and confront truths honestly. Important themes: Librarians and archives helped reconstruct hidden history Cousins encouraged her to publish the story She rejected family shame and secrecy 3. Generational Trauma Defined the Family Story Timeline: 13:55 – 23:40 One of the central themes is the catastrophic 1935 drunk-driving crash that killed six members of the Blumenthal family, including children. Karas explains her family history was psychologically divided into “before the accident” and “after the accident.” The trauma shaped generations afterward. Key moments: Six family members killed instantly in 1935 Drunk driver served less than a year Family members never emotionally recovered 4. Ronnie Blumenthal's Murder Case Haunted Everyone Timeline: 25:05 – 32:15 The interview's darkest section centers on Ronnie Blumenthal, who at age 18 murdered a seamstress connected romantically to his father. Karas explains how the family minimized the crime for years, calling it “the incident” rather than a murder. Critical points: Ronnie strangled and brutally killed the woman Family continued loving and supporting him No one directly asked Ronnie if he committed the murder Ronnie later claimed he “took the wrap” for his father” This section explores guilt, ambiguity, denial, and moral complexity.

Today's episode features guest host Michael Upshall (guest editor, Charleston Briefings) who talks with Stacey Greenwell, Librarian, Author and Instructional Designer.  Stacey has authored and co-authored several books on library practice, including Management Information for Professionals and Academic Librarianship, and she currently edits the open-access journal Practical Academic Librarianship. She coordinates educational services at the University of Kentucky libraries where she brings together all the instruction librarians at the University and those within their library system who have an interest in instruction to talk and learn from each other, develop courses together and discuss AI literacy tools.    In this conversation, Stacey talks with Michael about her early love of libraries. Her first job was working in a public library during high school where she filed catalog cards and got early exposure to IT being part of an automation project. She also talks about why, after she had earned her MLIS, she made the decision to move away from public libraries to an academic library at the University of Kentucky, where she began teaching as a liaison librarian almost 25 years ago, teaching her colleagues how to use office productivity tools and various website building tools, and creating online tutorials. Stacey decided to go back to school and earned a PhD in instructional systems design. She provides hands-on learning tools, materials and guidance for students and faculty, helping them critically evaluate information to gain the skills they need to be successful.   The video of this interview can be found here: https://youtu.be/nU02W1jm3O4 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mupshall/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/staceygreenwell/ Keyword #LibraryScience #LibraryLeadership #LibraryInnovation #PracticalLibrarianship #Library Resources #InformationLiteracy #LibraryInstruction #LibraryCollaboration #CriticalThinking #InformationProfessionals #AcademicLibraries #LearningResources #EdTechTools #career #scholcomm #ScholarlyCommunication #libraries #librarianship #LibraryNeeds #LibraryLove #ScholarlyPublishing #AcademicPublishing #publishing #LibrariesAndPublishers #podcasts

In this episode Lynda Chinenye Iroulo, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Georgetown University in Qatar, discusses how African states actively shaped multilateral institutions. Drawing on her research in decolonial international relations and the design of regional organizations, she talks about the history behind the African Union, the African Peer Review Mechanism, and the push for common African positions at the UN. Lynda highlights examples such as the shift from non‑intervention to the responsibility to protect, reforms in peace support operations, debates over the ICC, and ongoing calls for UN reform. She argues for a post‑colonial institutionalist lens to make African contributions visible and to rethink how global institutions are designed and implemented. Resources: Ask a Librarian!

Episode 234: Veterans, Memory and Transnational Networks of Solidarity: Connected Histories of Yugoslavia and Algeria Centering on the exchanges between Yugoslav Partisans and Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) during and after the Algerian war of independence, the lecture explores the role of memory and war legacies in Yugoslav socialist internationalism and anti-colonial solidarity. The lecture focuses on the narratives of the shared struggle for liberation, the sharing of the Yugoslav experiences of the People's Liberation War (1941-1945) and the postwar building of state socialism in Algeria, and transfers of knowledge in war commemoration. The memory of the People's Liberation War – the antifascist struggle and socialist revolution during the Second World War in Yugoslavia – played a connecting role with liberation movements such as the FLN. The war memory surfaced in the Partisans' deep identification with the Algerian liberation struggle, and different spheres of Yugoslav assistance to Algeria were based on the wartime and postwar experiences in Yugoslavia. Medical assistance represents an illuminating example, focusing on the care for the wounded and disabled Algerian soldiers, based on the Yugoslav know-how in the establishment of military medicine and disability care for the Partisans. Finally, veterans' internationalism developed between the two countries in the 1970s, involving exchanges in the field of war remembrance. Jelena Đureinović is a historian of Yugoslavia interested in memory and legacies of war in the 20th and 21st centuries. She is a researcher at the Research Centre for the History of Transformations (RECET) at the University of Vienna. Her current project, funded through the APART-GSK program of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, investigates Yugoslav socialist internationalism and the connected history of antifascism and anticolonialism. It examines the role of war legacies in the relations between the Yugoslav Partisan veterans and liberation movements from Africa, with Algeria in focus. Her main research interests include memory studies, global Cold War history and the history of Yugoslavia. Her book The Politics of Memory of the Second World War in Contemporary Serbia: Collaboration, Resistance and Retribution was published by Routledge in 2020. This episode was recorded on the 02nd of December 2025 at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines en Algérie (CEMA) Prof. Sidi Mohamed Lakhdar Barka, Professor of Comparative Literature from the Department of English at University of Oran 2 moderated the lecture.

The following interview is part of the 2025 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. In this series, we sit down with leaders and innovators who are making a real difference in scholarly publishing, libraries, and the broader information world. Each conversation is a chance to hear firsthand how these decision makers tackle new challenges, rethink traditional models, and collaborate across sectors. Today's episode features the next conversation from the 2025 Charleston Conference Leadership Interview Series. Heather Staines, Senior Consultant, Delta Think, and a Conference Director, talks with Lorcan Dempsey. Lorcan is a librarian, consultant, writer, advisor and keynote speaker at the 2025 Charleston Conference. Lorcan has had a long, distinguished career beginning over 30 years ago in public libraries in Ireland, to working at the Centre for Catalogue Research at the University of Bath to JISC and then to OCLC for over 21 years where he worked in research, served as chief strategist and Vice President. He is currently a visiting professor at the University of Washington.  In this conversation, Lorcan explains why he feels that library education should think about libraries as social organizations, and in that context, a set of skills that would be required to manage them as social organizations, very much embedded within the environments they serve. He also talks about the importance of the role of library directors as storytellers to explain the library's value, the fragmented state of libraries, and how it hinders collective infrastructure, how the move to the cloud changed the relationship between libraries and vendors, the complexities of libraries sharing systems and data within those systems and managing the collective resource. Lastly, he talks about his teaching experience and the current trends he is seeing with recruitment within libraries.

Have you ever wished you could go inside of a book? You could travel to a new place, see new sights, potentially live a different life altogether — all from the page. From New York Times bestselling author Kate Quinn comes Astral Library, a fantastical novel where books are not merely objects, but doors to different worlds, different adventures, and different futures. After growing up in the foster care system, protagonist Alix Watson came to believe one thing: unlike people, books will never let you down. Working three dead-end jobs to make ends meet and letting her dreams of higher education fall to the wayside, Alix takes refuge in the reading room at the Boston Public Library, reading her favorite fantasy novels and dreaming of faraway lands night after night. One day, she stumbles through a hidden door and meets the Librarian: the ageless guardian of the Astral Library, where the desperate and the lost escape to new lives inside their favorite books. All seems well until a shadowy enemy emerges and threatens everyone inside. As danger draws closer, Alix and the Librarian try to escape, fleeing places like the back alleys of the Sherlock Holmes series, the Regency-era drawing rooms of Jane Austen, and the decadent parties of The Great Gatsby, to name a few. In journeying through books, Quinn may offer insight into where readers truly belong. Kate Quinn is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of historical fiction. A native of Southern California, she attended Boston University, where she earned bachelor's and master's degrees in classical voice. A lifelong history buff, she has written four novels in the Empress of Rome Saga and two books set in the Italian Renaissance before turning to the 20th century with The Alice Network, The Huntress, The Rose Code, The Diamond Eye, and The Briar Club. The Astral Library is her first foray into magic realism. She and her husband now live in Maryland with their rescue dogs. Elise Hooper spent several years writing for television and online news outlets before getting a MA and teaching high-school literature and history. Her debut novel The Other Alcott was a nominee for the 2017 Washington Book Award. Three more novels—Learning to See, Fast Girls, and Angels of the Pacific—followed, all centered on the lives of extraordinary but overlooked historical women. Her newest book, The Library of Lost Dollhouses, was inspired by a dollhouse that's been in her family for five generations. Elise lives in Seattle with her husband and two daughters.

How to get revenge when you get laid off. TODAY'S QUESTION: Letter time! I need the help of the learn-ed boiz Fairbell, Shoemaker, & Payton. Long story short: I'm a middle school librarian at a small public school here in Colorado. I work my ass off and do everything I can to support all the students and staff. For the 4th time in my 16 years as an educator, my position got cut because of district budget bullshit. I'm pissed and it hurts to leave this school I love that I've been at for 6 years. I'm ready to leave education but because of retirement and child care discounts, I'm going to have to find another job in the district that screwed me over…again. I'm still at my school until early June & there are multiple people who threw me under the bus or have made my life hell. And assuming I find another job as a librarian, I'll have to still work with the higher ups who also fucked up this whole situation. Because I'm a “good person” and can't afford to burn down the whole damn system, I need something to daydream about without actually doing it. What is the pettiest shit you can think of for me to do to the asshats I loathe while still at my school and during district meetings next year? Those Who Can't is still my favorite show about teachers so I know you've got some ideas that didn't make the screen. I love (most of) my students so nothing to mess with them.
