A critical and commercial success since the 1970s, Jennifer Bartlett (b. 1941) has become one of the most visionary and influential artists of our time. In the words of New York Times critic John Russell, Bartlett’s art “enlarges our notion of time, and of memory, and of change, and of painting itself.” Her abundant intelligence and inventiveness allow her to synthesize diverse sources and styles, and imbue her paintings with expressive life and moral imagination. Included in this handsome volume are an intimate interview with the artist and an excerpt from History of the Universe, Bartlett’s first novel, giving further insight into the thought processes of this uniquely creative artist.

The biography of a poet seminal to postwar American poetry\nThe poet Larry Eigner (1927–1996) was a key figure in New American poetry, which grew out of the Black Mountain School and San Francisco Renaissance, and a major influence on the Language poets. Eigner also had cerebral palsy as the result of an accident at birth. It is fortuitous that the poet lived his life in two locations vibrant in both poetics and disability activism. Except for brief periods attending camp and school, he lived with his parents in Swampscott, Massachusetts, until the age of 51. Later, he moved to Berkeley, California, at the height of the disability rights movement. In the 1950s, Eigner attended Camp Jened, which later became famous in the film Crip Camp.\nBartlett’s biography covers every significant phase of Eigner’s life: his childhood and young adulthood when he began typing poems with one finger on the manual typewriter that was a bar mitzvah gift; his first publications and the maturation of his poetic interests through correspondence with poets of the era; and after his move to Berkeley, the ever-expanding circle of friends, poets, caretakers, and collaborators he established there. The result is a deeply insightful account of an utterly distinctive voice whose influence widens and deepens with each new generation that encounters him.

Jennifer Bartlett emerged as one of the most important artists of the 1970s and 1980s. When her monumental painting Rhapsody was first shown in 1976 at the Paula Cooper Gallery in New York, it became one of the most successful works of art in recent times. History of the Universe and Cleopatra combines an expanded version of her acclaimed 1985 autobiographical novel History of the Universe, including previously unpublished material, with an early, conceptual poem from 1971, Cleopatra.

Review\nProviding just the right balance between theory and practice, this book is must-read for all librarians seeking to understand the importance of capturing and preserving organizational knowledge. The author provides meaningful, real-life examples and practical solutions showing how and why KM is needed in modern library and information environments. Many libraries struggle with how to collect, organize, and maintain internal data, information, and knowledge for the long-term. This book is an excellent starting point for transforming your library’s stale knowledge now, one-and-done mindset to a dynamic now-and-later knowledge institution. 
-- Spencer Acadia, PhD, University of Denver, department of research methods and information science\nBartlett’s Knowledge Management is a focused and rounded introduction to knowledge management (KM) for librarians and other information professionals. Covering the basics of KM, how KM plays out within an organization, as well as KM futures, this is a must read for anyone in LIS interested in KM theory and practice. 
-- Frank Cervone, executive director for Information Services, School of Public Health at University of Illinois Chicago and lecturer, San Jose State University School of Information\nThis is a useful, well-written, and insightful look at knowledge management and how it can be applied in a library setting. There are exercises in every chapter that will help librarians and managers tackle the challenges presented by the overload of information that they face. Each chapter includes a summary of key points and references, and many include illustrations that help explain theoretical concepts. The book includes a glossary, a list of sources, and an index. Knowledge Management would be an appropriate purchase for all professional libraries. ― Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship\nWhile librarians and information professional are experts at providing resources to users, managing their own internal working knowledge and information can be a challenge. As information environments continue to become more complex, librarians and other information professionals must build on the existing expertise and skills within their organizations to keep them relevant to the information needs of their patrons and communities. Knowledge management (KM) is an intentional set of strategies intended to capture, preserve, and use human knowledge from employees to further the goals of an organization. Knowledge Management: A Practical Guide for Librarians will help librarians recognize, organize, communicate, and leverage both the tacit and explicit knowledge already in their organizations for the benefit of themselves and their users. Topics covered include: 
Why knowledge management is important in libraries and information organizations The knowledge management lifecycle: capturing, organizing, storing, sharing, and updating knowledge Capturing tacit and explicit knowledge and getting staff buy-in Tools and methods for recording and developing organizational information flow Facilitating the transfer of organizational knowledge and expertise Promoting knowledge innovation and learning\nKnowledge Management is intended to help individual librarians and library managers in all library settings (academic, public, school, special, etc.) to think critically about their existing knowledge management environments with an eye toward improving existing procedures or implementing a KM program. This guide will provide readers with basic background information and useful, targeted exercises and examples to help them develop knowledge management programs in their own organizations.
