Extensible Catalog (XC) Project Releases User Interface « Tennant: Digital Libraries

girl, 

i sat across from you at the library today. you were listening to classical music on your ipod and i guess it really struck a nerve with you, because something awesome happened. you quietly put your book down and cradled you head in your left hand. your hair fell in front of your closed eyes and you just smiled. and when the song ended you looked up and saw me. you turned a little red and giggled. i died. i just - i can’t.

A Twopointopia Status Update « Annoyed Librarian

Once upon a time there was a loud and hardy cult of librarians I called the twopointopians. These giddy creatures popped up at conferences and in blog posts to declare their faith that something called Library 2.0 would be the salvation of libraries.
