Library Hotel vs OCLC
Tina Gunter of Biola University Library reports on a brief article (about 1.25 column inches, in the Nation Digest on inside of front page) in Wednesday's paper, which stated that the hotel "agreed to acknowledge in its advertising OCLC's rights to DDC, and to make a donation of an undisclosed amount to a nonprofit organization which promotes reading among children". At this time, there is no news on the possibility that smaller hotels might be considering the use of Abridged Dewey ... ... There is no more to read >> Technology proven book-dependent

The DoIS (Documents in Information Science) website has an extensive listing in almost alphabetical order. Thousands of them. On just about every library and information-related topic you can think of. And in languages you won't even recognize. Given that we all have too much reading to do, rather than point you to any specific papers - and we keep in mind that we have no idea what your areas of interest are (fercryinoutloud, we aren't even sure what we are interested in) - we leave you to 'unpack' the information at your leisure ... ...

MORE ORIGINAL HUMOR
Research has shown that the average librarian will take 5-10 minutes to read this web page. Anecdotal evidence is suggesting that many librarians fear they do not have enough time to investigate the humor links. The majority of the 90+ original library humor items in the Humor Index are designed to take less than 2 minutes to read. However, if you choose to hang around there for hours reading them all, then re-reading them, then WLW cannot take any responsibility. You now have the choice of using the genetically unmodified Alphabetical Index or the dolphin-safe Dewey Version. Caffeine-free version has been temporarily canned, pending an FDA investigation ...

Whilst many librarians fear (and with justification) that their book budgets are being slashed in favor of fund diversion for hardware, a small but dedicated group of school librarians have produced indisputable photographic proof that society will always need books.
So, you've bought the Warrior Librarian coffee cup, the apparel, the posters, the lunchbox, and the carrier bag. But you still feel like there's some vital ingredient missing from your library?
