Completely overwhelmed by the 6 people who presented their purchased copy for signing over the 72 hour period, the Warrior Librarian stated that her patronage of "other facilities" in the hotel may have made it a little difficult to locate her at times. However, speaking in her own defence, she continued by adding that she had complete faith in librarians' abilities in locating resources any where, any time, and that those who couldn't locate her weren't really trying.

Interestingly, she hadn't met one of her "authors" in a real-time, face-to-face situation until more than 18 months after the successful submission of a manuscript. In fact, it was more than 6 months after the book's publication. All correspondence had been completed by email. Except for a CD of graphics, which was snail-mailed. And some contracts, which also went via US mail. OK, and some other stuff that couldn't be emailed or FTP'd. Alright, already! Mostly emailed. Happy now? Meeting the author in an "informal setting", Ms Coatney stated that she was "delighted" to meet the author in person. Completely unfazed by the author's spilling a drink over a pile of books and a laptop computer, Sharon laughed the incident off. As one might well do, as it wasn't her laptop ... ...

Don't think because I'm not saying anythin' that I haven't got anythin' to say, young lady. When I was your age, we didn't go gallivantin' around the world, doing library conferences 'n' such. Let alone drinkin' in bars with people you'd only just met, even if they was librarians. Sheesh! Now you just go and git up to your room, and stay there until I's a-callin' yer.

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 ...

During Biblia's study tour of US school libraries, the Warrior Librarian may well have devised a scheme that will revolutionize both staffing and funding of those invaluable - but undervalued - institutions. On hearing about the funding shortfalls and predictions resulting from the "greying" of LMS professionals, then further investigation of the US economy, Biblia is in the process of preparing a recommendation that the expenditure on security and libraries for ex-presidents be amended. By retraining ex-presidents as school librarians, and posting them to schools, their presidential libraries can be incorporated into the school library collections (with necessary modifications). The security staff that have been assigned to the ex-presidents can expand their duties to include yard duty and shelving. Incidently, this would also help with the prompt return of overdue books ... ... There is no more to read >> |

Yet again shaking all conventions for author signing, the Warrior Librarian made herself available for autographing her book - for three days.
In a world seemingly bereft of loyalty and free time, it's heartwarming to discover that people are willing to drive for 9 hours across three states to attend a school library conference.
Sharon Coatney, the 1998-1999 President of the American Association of School Librarians, has now resigned from her library position to become a full-time (virtual) editor for Greenwood Publishing.
