US interest in Oz libraries
At this stage, it is not known if the recent article in LISNews on the e-Bay auction of a "space marine librarian in terminator armour" may have prompted the visit, or is on the agenda for further investigation. The warhammer collectable (figure, not president), offered by a New South Wales resident, resulted in a subsequent discussion of librarian training techniques in the Australia. US residents should note that the discussion took place over at LISNews, not in the White House ... ... There is no more to read >> "Greying" of the Profession
For those lucky few that can afford to consider retirement as an option, Florida is often touted as the perfect place. And the news just gets better - the Winter Haven Library is for sale, at bargin basement prices. At under a million dollars, and with a central avenue location, all you will need to do is stock it with resources. And considering the average librarian's home collection, what retirement village is going to offer you the same amount of space ... ... There is no more to read >> Challenge policy updated
According to news reports, in addition to any mention of sex or violence, any depiction of reckless driving will now result in the removal of material from the shelves.

Gary Browning, writing for the UK Guardian, describes libraries as "brothels for the mind ... librarians are the madams, greeting punters, understanding their strange tastes and needs, and pimping their books". In the meantime, librarians around the world are waiting to see if any national professional association is sufficiently progressive to risk adopting the slogan, "Libraries: Brothels for the Mind". Maybe the stereotype isn't really that bad after all ... ... There is no more to read >>
The fact that a Google search results in nearly 9,000 hits on the phrase search "woodchucker chuck", would indicate that many have pondered - and proposed possible solutions - but where is the research data? Here at WLW, the research team is still hopeful of a substantial amount of cash money becoming available for further studies. Given the global socio-economic implications of this vitally important investigation, the closing date for receipt of proposals has now been extended. ... There is no more to read >>
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 ...

National Geographic's inclusion of their film libraries in India may have an negative impact on the artistic creativity of the average teenage male library user.

Following the highly successful (and disgustingly over publicised - at least here) study tour by the WLW research team to Minnesota and North Dakota, US president George W. Bush will meet with Australian politicians this week.
Library professionals are getting tired of just about everything. Long hours, small pay packets, unimaginative administration, rude patrons, budgets that would make a dead parrot laugh. And if that isn't enough, investigations into the profession reveal an increasingly apparent amount of grey hair.
Following the removal of two books from the Crawford County Middle School (Ga) library, the criteria for objectionable material has now been extended
The debate over the action librarian doll continues to rage. OK, maybe not "rage" as much as be mumbled about over coffee and donuts. Although the WLW editorial policy discourages value judgements, it is observed that there are those who find the image portrayed as "fun", whilst others consider it as a perpetuation of inaccurate perception. But worse is to come.
As yet, no funding proposals have yet been received for research into quantifying the number of chucks that a woodchuck (Marmota monax) could chuck, if indeed it were physically possible for this common Missouri rodent (with length varying from 16-27 inches) to actually enable an airborn re-siting. Let alone an extensive examination of the semantics involved in this common, yet elusive, riddle.
