very practical as well
Thanks to copy-cataloging, small errors now get reproduced worldwide. Here’s a helpful list of Typographical Errors in Library Databases and its new companion More Typographical Errors in Library Databases to help you track down errors in your own catalog.

I came across this lovely article from DLib showing some examples of digital libraries that use Greenstone, open source software for creating digital libraries.
woo hoo, now THAT’s a can of whoopass!!
Eli and Karen also alerted me to the CLA and ACLU’s new joint PATRIOT-bashing venture. Oh hell, I’ll just include it… making a radical departure from my usual no-graphics policy. Go fetch the image yourself, please don’t link directly to this one.

Hi. I have just had another paid holiday. This job is the first time I have ever had a paid holiday. I even got a wee bit of time off to go to ALA. I like being employed.
