Welcome to ShelfLife

Attention book lovers, bibliophiles, literary scholars and casual readers. Today, the Office of Public Affairs has launched ShelfLife@Texas, a blog for readers to discuss literature, book news and literary events at The University of Texas at Austin.

ShelfLife will offer readers an inside look at the university’s vibrant community of authors. Our contributors will write about books by faculty and staff members, students and alumni of the university, on topics ranging from the arts, history and the humanities, to business, law and politics.

If you’re part of the university community and you’ve recently written a book, we’d love to hear about it. Check out our submission guidelines or send us an email.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Yippee — my favorite Alcalde was the one in which a number of professors recommended books in and out of their fields –I read from that list for more than a year. Maybe this will be an extension of that article.

Good, I am a UT alumnus in exile in California and hope this will give me more of a connection to the finest academic institution that I have attended. I am doing a little writing myself mostly on positive themes. Richard Buckner, Ph.D.

Welcome, and thanks for reading! We do plan to offer recommended reading lists as the blog picks up steam. Stay tuned…

In the meantime, the Alcalde article, “The Ultimate Longhorn Reading List” is available online at http://www.texasexes.org/alcalde/feature.asp?p=2142.
