Librarian fired for collaring perv
This story is like an onion. I have no idea what kind of code, guidelines, rules, laws, etc. that librarians follow, but this story has to fall in every grey area out there. Are there librarians that say the patron who was arrested here, should not have been reported?
I’m all for privacy and protected speech, but surely these bastions of knowledge aren’t supposed to be havens for criminals?

1 librarian + 1 librarian + 1 librarian + …
A gaggle of geese. A pack of dogs. A pod of whales. Over at PhiloBiblos they are wondering what do you call a group of librarians?

They are just asking for it
The Chronicle of Higher Education is a hosting a design contest. One where they are asking folks to design the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Can you imagine the submissions they are going to get?
Of course, the winning design has no impact on the actual library, but the winner does get an iPod Touch. All entries must be penned on the back of an envelope, which is only slighty larger than the napkins I’m used to sketching on. I envision some serious censoring going on when building their web gallery for us all to vote on.
