how is a library like Las Vegas?
Maine Today: “A visit to a public library should be like a trip to Las Vegas — what happens there should stay there.”
return the bird!

librarians are cool about copyright … or aren’t they?

two australian links
One of my not-right-away plans once my job is done is to go back to Australia and do some consulting for the State Library of South Australia in Adelaide. Tara linked to their amazing digital library archives last week. Seems like there may be some book restoration to do in the area as well since the Barr Smith library at the University of Adelaide was flooded on Friday as the result of damage to a water main.
