Okay let’s just say it straight. Having our OPACs say “Check shelves” when a book is supposed to be checked in is not much better than saying “Dream On” right? An amusing post by Karen on Web4Lib. [crafty]

gearing up for the RNC in NYC
So they’re gearing up for the RNC in New York. I do not expect to be going etiher as a “blogger” or a protestor though maybe I can answer some questions for Radical Reference. It seems like the bag-checking on the ferries are getting a bit out of hand. I can see weapons being dangerous but — and I can’t believe we’re going through this again — books?! What book? This book.

what is the future of library education in Georgia?
So, since Clark Atlanta is phasing out its library school, what does the future of Library education in Georgia look like? You might recognize Dr. Ismail Abdullahi as being an ALA Councilor. [thanks tim]
I Love You, Madame Librarian
Kurt Vonnegut loves librarians, especially lately.
I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles. So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries. [thanks dave]
