Things I've found in the library where I work: National Geographic magazines

So I've started working as a librarian in a junior college library. I'm building their library from the ground up, basically, and this involves going through all their donated books and materials. I've found some pretty neat things, which I'll highlight in this blog as a series.

Somebody donated a bunch (a couple boxes worth) of National Geographic magazines. I haven't really gone through them yet because I'm doing all the books first, but this one was amongst said books and the awesome holographic image of a hominid skull caught my eye.


Pretty sweet, right? It's the metallic rainbow-y kind that looks 3-D. I took a video of it so you could check out the neat 3-D action. Hopefully it comes out:


National Geographic Vol. 168, No. 5 November 1985

I also came across this other NatGeo mag. The guy with the condor on the cover looks a lot like the guy from The Black Keys (the one with glasses). Perhaps he's a time-traveler.

 Condor-wrangling: not for the faint of heart.

National Geographic Vol. 139, No. 8 May 1971
