New addition to the library school link list: BiblioTech [just a working title]. Welcome!

Since ALA, we all have known that the Canadian library schools are really putting out some top librarian talent. But who knew they had a fashion sense as well. The students from the SLIS at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia are hawking some mighty fine librarian t-shirts, possibly ones even too racy to wear to work. And, “action figure” aside, my favorite one has to be the NLA shirt. [thanks all]

Clark Atlanta University trustees voted this week to close the library school, among other departments, protests nonwithstanding. Damn damn damn. [thanks mac]

Ever wonder if degrees from online library programs are looked at the same as degrees from the old brick and mortar establishments? Preliminary survey results indicate that while a large percentage of people see the degrees as equivalent, 18% would not hire people with an online degree. [lisnews]
