sex + stacks = oh you know

These sex in the library articles just sell themselves. I enjoy the commentary by the library worker.

Ugh… please don’t fornicate in the stacks… I work in Watson and just… ewww guys!! I don’t want to find the remainder of your little liason while doing my job. I mean, at least clean up after yourselves if you really must give into your passions at the freakin’ library… [thanks robert]

Legal librarians were now responsible for managing powerful online information services and practice tools, as well as for teams of researchers and for ensuring that lawyers knew how to use the latest research tools and had all the extra information they needed for the specialisations. [shelf]
