I like kids. They are some of my favorite patrons. However, on school days, when the library is full of them, I like them less. Moreso when I feel like they’ve been dumped there and don’t want to be there any more than I’d like them to be wandering bored in front of the refdesk. Apparently [and I pretty much knew this] this is not a phenomenon singular to our library. It’s a social problem, and a bad one. [thanks all]

I date a lawyer
I don’t often think of law libraries as having really fancy virtual collections, but the Tarlton Law Library [at UT Austin] has a great set of pages about The Law in Popular Culture.
what goes on inside the library is constantly changing
If you have realaudio and you haven’t already heard it, Chicago Public Radio did a neat little bit on the library in American life featuring Louise Robbins and Matthew Battles. [thanks raizel]
IPL was the first digital library that I knew of
The Internet Public Library was also really helpful. They have a good list of online journals and serials about librarianship.
reviews of the Library of Congress
Did you know that epinions allows you to review locations, as long as they are nominally travel desitinations? See what vistors to the Library of Congress or the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library had to say about them. Maybe even add your own library…?
