Some quotes taken out of context to attempt to strengthen the right’s argument against librarians who oppose the PATRIOT Act. Barbara Boxer, for instance, is quoted as saying the PATRIOT Act was a “good balance” but omits that she was one of the Senators responsible for introducing the Library and Bookseller Protection Act this past Summer.

bibliocide?
As I suspected, getting my name in the New York Times has resulted in a lot of friendly mail and link submissions. A few pages I’ve liked are: Bibliocide, The History of the Wisconsin Library School SLIS, and How Not to Handle a Complaint #1-5 from NHLA.

hi
Hi. I’ve gotten one report that people can’t see the links in the header above. If anyone else is having this problem can you drop me an email and tell me what OS/browser you are using? Thanks. Also, I am trying to add more library school resources to the links page. If anyone knows of a library school that has a newsletter or blog [not just a home page] please drop me a note.
