...welcome to the webpages for Don Macnaughtan, Lane Community College Library.

My new book The Buffyverse Catalog: A Complete Guide to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel in Print, Film, Television, Comics, Games and Other Media, 1992-2010 has been published by McFarland Publishing. Here is a Torch article on the project.
A new ethnographic bibliography on the rich oral literature of the Chinookan peoples of the Lower Columbia River.
A research bibliography on the five Athapaskan languages of Western Oregon.
My article on a social model of disability from The Community College Moment

Here at Lane I work as a reference librarian, and I also teach classes and workshops. My subject specialties are: American Indians, anthropology, art & applied design, computer & information technology, counseling & human relations, ethnic studies, geography, history, international studies, law & criminal justice, mass media (movies, tv, newspapers, web), multimedia & game design, Oregon, photography, political science, psychology, sociology, and popular culture. I act as the academic liaison to most faculty in these areas, which means I help them use the library's resources, and I build the new book & dvd collections in those fields.

I also help in the Library's evaluation of new electronic and reference resources, and work on special projects such as the Library's unique movie screenplay collection. I am responsible for the Library's publicity and outreach to faculty, including editing the faculty newsletter Inklings.

I do quite a bit of writing & research - my publication history is here on OCLC WorldCat. Coming from a remote land downunda, I'm intrigued with how prehistoric humans eventually settled some of the planet's more isolated islands. I do some projects with music & media, and I'm especially a student of the Buffyverse, with a new book from McFarland & Co. I have also contributed to the history of the Cuarain Fada or "Long Sandal" Macnaughtans, my branch of Clann 'icNeachdainn, who settled Fortingall and Glen Lyon during the Dark Ages.

I also specialize in American Indians of the Northwest. My main work is on the Chinookan, Siuslaw-Kuitsh and Chetco-Tututni peoples of the Oregon Coast and the Columbia River, the Indian languages of Western Oregon, and also the rare ceremonial artifacts known as coppers. I have also written in vexillology (the science of flags), and I have a WordPress media blog.

When I'm not working, I'm tooling around Eugene on my trusty 1998 Trek 720. Or I'm out of town travelling with my wife Marji - to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and St-Pierre et Miquelon; Britain, especially gardens and pubs; the wild coasts of Labrador; Vancouver Island, Ireland, Joshua Tree & the Salton Sea; to Alaska, Granville Island, and Powell River, BC. In 2012 we toured the North Island of New Zealand, from the Coromandel Peninsula to Wellington.

I always travel with a camera - my favorite shots are from nature. I also collect comedy records & books, and I'm always foraging for great music, especially Zero 7.
