big and beautiful, take a gander at Seattle’s new library
Seattle Public Library is opening May 23rd and sneak peek pictures are showing up everywhere: Arcspace, technobiblio, reluct & Pac NW Magazine [thanks all]
and now, on the other coast
I’ll have to pay more attention to the news stories, does the new Seattle Public Library have free wireless? Boston Public does, in all their branches. Here are some pictures of that lovely library. [thanks rebecca]
speaking of Seattle public
You know, I never call catalogers “catalog librarians” which is probably an oversight on my part. Seattle Times has a little profile on one of SPLs cataloguing librarians
“My husband would probably tell you I do a little too much thinking about the library after-hours. But it’s not the kind of job where I get paged in the middle of the night for a cataloguing emergency.”

Hi. I’m spending the entire morning reading about HIPAA. Part of the talk I’m giving at MLA will be about this legislation and the affect it has on medical librarians. The rest is on the USA PATRIOT Act and CIPA. HIPAA is my weakest area so I’m reading up. If any health or medical librarians would like to send me words of wisdom about their personal dealings with HIPAA, I’d really appreciate it.
