Food City

Food City

Although I've resolved to no longer add to my collection of first issue serials, I found a freebie yesterday at Caribou, which if you are from Columbus, you might pick up: Food City from 614 magazine. It's a biannual, I think. I thought it would imitate Edible Columbus, also a relatively new magazine, but there's more emphasis on restaurants.

The first issue features four chefs, including Cameron Mitchell who went to Upper Arlington high school when my kids were there in the 80s, and always has an interesting tale on achieving your dreams. The issue I have includes 41 full page menus of local restaurants, in case you're bored with the usual stops....

Found some interesting food thoughts, like Elvis pie--peanut butter, chocolate and bananas. I used to make something like Elvis pie (not as pretty as their photo) but decided I liked it better without the bananas which always got a bit soggy.

Kimberly Stolz, the Managing Editor and one of the writers, must have a great job, because she tastes what she writes about. Also, I see that if you keep your blog focused (I don’t) you can get a real writing gig like “Breakfast with Nick.”

"Welcome to Food City, a biannual offering from (614) Magazine that celebrates all Columbus has to offer in the realm of repasts and restaurants, recipes and recommendations." Kimberly Stolz

Discovery

The subtitle for this in-house journal is "a publication for alumni and friends of The Ohio State University College of Education." Greg Bown, director of communications of the College and Editor of Discovery wrote about his trip to North Carolina and Hurricane Bertha and Hurricane Fran eventually getting around to his interest in this journal, but try as I might, I couldn't get his drift. . . something about the hurricanes made him appreciate more the ties between what we care about and what we know and seek to know.

This is not a particularly exciting journal, but it seems that OSUL could do a better job of keeping up with campus publications. Of the six years (through 2002), it only has 3 issues, according to the record.

Tracings

Tracings was the official newsletter of the Ohio State University Libraries from 1986-1990. Its theme was "bringing together the University Libraries and the academic community," and its aim was to be both informative and instructive. The first issue had an update from Director William J. Studer on the collection, the archives, preservation, automation, user education and a plan for expanded physical facilities. Jill B. Fatzer, Assistant Director, explained the Main Library reorganization. Brief articles expanded on some of these topics, including a story about preservation by Sally Sims which included a photo of Wes Boomgaarden and Harry Campbell, whom I just saw last Thursday in a tour of the new Technical Services Building on Kinnear Road. Noelle Van Pulis submitted an article on "direct access to LCS" from home and office, which was quite innovative then. Soon, books will be the unusual item in libraries.
