A few other worthwhile links that came in but don’t require too much in the way of explanation: A Librarian’s Alphabet & Jinfo [from the folks at Free Pint].

go read Web Search Garage
Also, I just finished Tara’s book Web Search Garage and really got a lot out of it. She discusses more than Google, more than syntax, and more than just the basics and offers some really good step-by-step approaches to ferreting out tough-to-find information specifically the things that are not just Googleable. I will give you a dollar if you read this book and don’t learn at least one new thing from it. Check out the preview chapter and a few freebies on her page.
please take off your name tag on the subway, thank you

hi – 02feb
Hi. The cost of health insurance at my library has gone up by double-digit percentages for the past two years. My pay has increased slightly, but nowhere near this much. As a result, I am now taking home less money this year than I was last year, even though I have one more year of experience. The taxpayers are paying the same amount, yet more of it is going to my insurers than to me. This is not sustainable. What do you think will happen?
