According to the March issue of Library Journal, McPherson College’s Miller Library in Kansas released a 23-page zombie-themed guide book on using library resources like the library catalogue and Interlibrary Loan System, and demonstrating how to employ information retrieval skills such as narrowing search results and navigating academic journals. Zombies have long since roamed between library shelves; Jane Austin’s beloved 1813 literary work was parodied in 2009 as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The movie currently in production and expected to be released in 2013! In addition, check out The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead, World War Z, and The Zombie Survival Guide: Recoded Attacks, guides to surviving a zombie apocalypse by Max Brooks, all of which are currently available at several academic and public libraries including the University of Illinois Library.
