My quote for this week comes from the book Library: An Unquiet History which you should all drop everything right now and read. Matthew Battles has also written adorable libraryish pieces for Hermenaut.
Month: January 2004
poetry, accidental and otherwise
I found this nifty little poem linked off of my pal Laura’s staff page. I stayed with her when I was in San Diego.

PATRIOT Watch: Want to give your patrons absolute privacy when they surf? Try ECM Stealth, patrons leave no trace. I got this link in email and I know nothing else about this product, except the larger website it is on seems sort of empty. Anyone else know anything else about it?
hi
Hi. I’ll be tossing a lot of links up here over the rest of today and I’ll try to include some information on what went down at ALA over the past four or five days. The conference was tiring but really informative. The book signing was fun [and McFarland says we’ve sold more than 800 books already!], and the travelling wasn’t as rough as I thought it would be. Thanks to all the new folks who took the time to say hi or introduce themselves.
not today folks
While I don’t feel like dragging my jet lagged fingers through the search engine on ALA’s site today to link to what went on, Karen had some daily updates that can give you a rough idea. Turns out that the wireless that we thought was going to cost us $25/day wound up being completely free. And I left my laptop at home.
