If your online title search returns multiple, similar catalogue entries for one title, don’t just place your hold on the top result. The example below shows a new title from the Athabasca University Press that will be coming out in August, with one copy on-order: “On-order” records may look a little short on information, but you can rest assured the cataloguing will be completed closer to publication time. When it finally arrives, you’ll be one of the first in line. You don’t need to wait until the book is published to place a hold! As soon as you hear about a forthcoming title you’re excited to read, search for it in the library catalogue and get your holds placed before the rest of the crowd. This means that the new book your favourite author just announced will be coming out in November is likely already available in the library catalogue as an “on-order” record.

When he researches the legend around Jonny Appleseed at the reservation library, he is confused about why that particular legend was sung about at his summer camp.Īt school, Jonny is bullied for being gay. Jonny dislikes his name because of this association (he is named after his father), so he often names himself after vacuum cleaner brands instead.
Jonny’s father struggled with substance use and is absent from his life he is presumed to have died after a fire on another reservation. His experience is not one he sees reflected in the public experiences of older, out gay men, who are largely white and come from class privilege. He is Indigenous and “a brown gay boy on the rez” (12) on the land of the Peguis First Nation in Canada.
He masturbates to images of the characters. The first-person narrator, Jonny, figures out he is gay from watching Queer as Folk on his kokum’s (grandmother’s) TV as a kid.
