Note: The opinions expressed herein are solely those of the author. Any resemblance to real librarians (living or dead, or somewhere in between) or real libraries, may be a coincidence - but probably not. Biblia, the Warrior Librarian, was created by A.B.Credaro. The practice of Warrior Librarianship is common, and therefore quite possibly in the public domain. As such, it is likely to be exempt from any copyright restrictions. However, this does not limit Warrior Librarian Weekly, its agents, employees, heirs, spouses, family pets, or others connected with the zine, from trying to make an easy buck from its use.

LIBRARY TOYS Model update slated
However, a number of suggestions for a more appropriate gesture (other than the previously suggested Flipping the Bird) have now started to surface. Whilst it would be difficult to find some representation of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome other than elastic supports around wrists and elbows, a likely contender for an updated model has included a library action doll that crumples at the knees due to fatigue. Further suggestions include a flinging action that launches head-ache pills ... ...No more to read here >> OLYMPIC GAMESSynchronised cataloging team on standby

Chris Sherman of the highly regarded SearchEngineWatch, stopped using bookmarks years ago. He states that "after accumulating thousands of them, and having more than half become worthless when pages were moved or deleted. I've also tried and then abandoned programs that saved snippets or even whole copies of web pages, despite cool features that allowed me to annotate my clippings and search for them later by keyword". Which would leave many of us in a bit of a pickle. However, Chris recommends using Onfolio, "a toolbar application for Internet Explorer that lets you capture web page URLs, page snippets, images, PDF documents, etc. and store them in folders for easy retrieval later." Yeah, right - like there's a spare thirty bucks in the library's budget ... ... ... No more to read here >>
MORE ORIGINAL HUMOR
Research has shown that the average librarian will take 10 to 15 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 (all written by Biblia, and not available anywhere else on the 'net) 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 ...
