I have refrained from mentioning anything about the Internet being up and down at our library these past two days, or how little fun it was. However, I refer you to the comedy gold of Kudzu and Cissus and their entertaining weblog He Said She Said. [lisnews]

hi
Hi. EFF got the money from the sale of the bumpersticker and Dan Greene will be getting the sticker in the mail. Thanks to Jason Pettis who made the sticker in the first place.
damned noisy birds
Some people find the shushing action figure hilarious. Check out this shushing scarecrow at the North Scituate Public Library.
disability visibility
This week is Make a Noise in Libraries Week in the UK. Does your library have materials for your print disabled patrons? I’ll be heading down to the State of Vermont Division for the Blind and Visually Impaired to learn about their adaptive technologies. [thanks owen]
islamic collection development
In the months after 9/11 and continuing today, libraries have tried to get more books on Islam for their patrons. The Council on American-Islamic Relations helped libraries fill their collection gaps with book and information donations. Now some are saying CAIR is running a PR campaign in America’s libraries for a kinder gentler, and inaccurate, view of Islam. [thanks taylor]
