The thing is, I’m looking for children books with “scary” animal illustrations like the big bad wolf (or a fox) eating pigs (or seven kids or Red Riding hood or birds in Chicken Little) or being pictured with a fat stomach. Could be any other animal as well. I need it for my research. Any sort of help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09842857580719767588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4061870849031468581.post-24839052767703638972013-07-05T18:04:43.035-04:002013-07-05T18:04:43.035-04:00I love it when blogs that I follow for one interes...I love it when blogs that I follow for one interest (libraries) and another (social justice/fat acceptance) collide! Thanks for writing this. <br /><br />About six months or so back, I read an article on fat studies classification in LC that you might find interesting: Angell, K. and Price, C. (2012). Fat Bodies in Thin Books: Information Bias and Body Image in Academic Libraries. Fat Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Body Weight and Society, 1 (2), 153-165. It was the only article that I found at the time writing about information/library issues and societal attitudes toward fat-bodied individuals. I *wish* there were more. I'd love to see research happening about bias in reference interactions or even a more detailed study of the effects of bias in the classification systems. <br /><br />Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01295549942746937476noreply@blogger.com
