HIDDEN TALENT REVEALED Psychic Librarian Exposed
Way back in April, 2001 the infamous Libraries in the Media foreshadowed the creation of education portals, which have now become not only a reality, but an unsurprising example of the human imperative to continually re-invent the wheel, as required by government authorities and their privatized equivalents around the world. Then, after a sighting of flying pigs which was reported in the March 22, 2002 edition, pay rises for librarians was anticipated. On April 3, 2002 ALIA announced that salaries for Australian librarians had been revised. Upwards, even. As if this wasn't enough, the plot development predictions for the Harry Potter series published on June 1, 2002 anticipated that "teenage angst" would shortly become apparent - when it was expected that the book would not be released until November of that year. Sure, the Warrior Librarian was out by a few months, but so was Rowling's writing schedule. What does the future now hold for the Library World?

During a recent cull of assorted pieces of paper amongst the other debris on the breakfast bar, one librarian was able to salvage a fragment of ancient manuscript thought to have been created during the very late Quaternary Period. At the time of writing, scientifically valid tests have yet to be undertaken to determine the exact age of the document, despite the statement of a local expert that it was written at the time of the last dental shedding. The debt had apparently been accumulating at the rate of one dollar per tooth for some months. However, there was rejection of the counter-claims that some of the accompanying teeth (left as evidence with the note) had already been paid ... ...

LATEST HUMOR PAGE First Aid For Libraries  Everyone should learn first aid, and every library should have someone trained in advanced CPR and EAR, as well as AACR2.

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 is still in beta .... MOST POPULAR BIBLIA PAGES TO DATE:

In one of those usual problematic cataloguing situations we all experience occasionally (some of us more often than others), So You Wanna was nearly shelved as Disappointment of the Week. It didn't have any information on where an overworked librarian might be able to catch a few zzz's in a scheduled break time. But it DID have information on lying, and also recommended against a career in high fashion on the grounds that this was a profession that "revered women who look like bookmarks", so there was a library connection in there after all ...

Move over, Nostrodamus, a new psychic is with us. Maybe. Close examination of the archives of Warrior Librarian Weekly has revealed the incredible accuracy in the predictions of future events by Biblia, the Warrior Librarian.
Although librarians are rarely suprised at what appears in archival material in libraries (or even wedged between pages of a book, or between books on a shelf), they can still experience the thrill of discovery at home.
Google may well be the world's worst kept secret, and with good cause. Excellent though it may be, no Internet-based service has an indefinitely limitless bandwidth. So the more people that use it, the harder it's going to be for those of us not downloading music or playing online games. Not that there's anything wrong with either of these activities. At least, not when they're being done by library staff.
