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.

Book selection challenge
In addition, more age-developed library users are unable to read titles on book spines at any range further away than a nose-span, making their reading selection process one of a random "grab".

Which isn't a bad opening for a book, except you have to wait until page 5 to get to the extract shown above. First-time author Martha Cooley's book, The Archivist (ISBN 0-349-11096-4), seems to have captured the essential spirit of the profession, if not the daily chaos level of the average circulation desk.

The interpretation of dreams is, like library administration, an imprecise science. However, there are a number of web sites that may possibly provide some guidence. Among these is the Dream Dictionary. It was here that we learned that to dream of libraries indicates a search for meaning and/or information. Aching knees (apparently) means dissatisfaction and complaints; the sight of buttocks indicates power; a finger augers sensitivity and awareness; packages and boxes pressages the need to enclose or protect something; The only problem was we weren't actually asleep ... ... ...

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 ...

A new game in town is Googlism, where the paranoid can find out what websites are saying about them. It does come up with nil results for searches on both "amanda credaro" and "warrior librarian" but then also says it doesnt have enough information for "bill gates" either. But Queen Elizabeth scored well. We didnt know she was completely landlocked, is operated by Fairmont Hotels, is only 36 tall, and comes in either white or pink There is no more >>

Library patrons are considering seeking clarification of circulation policies regarding shelving configurations. At least one has questioned whether it is really necessary for lending libraries to use the same high shelving as reference libraries. Having found that insufficient height-enhancement devices are available for the vertically challenged, shorter patrons are being limited to browsing only 60% of material in open stack.
International visitors from 27 countries are slated to be finger-printed and photographed as part of the requirements for entry into the United States of America.
As funding allocations for book stock continue to shrink, some libraries are coming to rely ever more increasingly on donations.
The otherwise impressive credentials of a well-respected reference librarian were today called into question after the Warrior Librarian Privacy Invasion Squad visited the personal website of a double-masters accredited information specialist.
"To the first-year students at the university where I work, I am merely Mr. Lane, the grey-mustached warden of the obscure Mason Room. But to the graduate students I am something like a god, indispensable and unavoidable, keeper of the countless objects of desire. And in reality? - in reality I'm the archivist at one of America's most prestigious institutions of higher learning, where I oversee a collection of rare books and manuscripts, the notes and letters of dead writers and other prominenti, and boxes of miscellany donated by eccentric graduates. This archive, housed in a quiet wing of the main library, is amongst the finest anywhere; and I am it's guardian."
