"When I began work for public library interests in new York we had 40 free public libraries and 40,000 saloons, so that by the law of averages a boy leaving his home in the evening would pass 999 open doors with a cordial welcome to the worst influences to every one inviting him to the companionship and inspiration of the best books.” Melvil Dewey, The Field and Future of Traveling Libraries, 1901

What is a librarian? "But the modern library is less a reservoir than a fountain. Its librarian is an active, aggressive factor in popular education. He recognizes fully his duty to get and to keep, but puts far above this his greater duty to use." Melville Dewey. On Libraries, 1904, p. 196

What is a librarian? Tommy sat down next to Jonathan and reached for the keyboard -- and Mary Kay took it away from them both. "This is my pidgin," she said firmly, and they relinquished it. (Mary Kay is one of the secret masters of the world: a librarian. They control information. Don't ever piss one off.) Spider Robinson, The Callahan Touch, p. 64.

“ Students walked hundreds of miles, perhaps begging their way, to sit within sound of the voice of some chosen teacher or to read some book securely chained to a pillar. But the volume which then cost as much as a village has by the new process become as cheap as a lunch.” Melvil Dewey, 1901

"Just tell me how you learned to hear that corn." And he'd say, "It takes a lot of practice. You can't be in a hurry."

Don't start with the whole Pacific Ocean." Byrd Baylor & Peter Parnall, The Other Way to Listen. NY: Scribner, 1978

&quot;The reason I’m spending so much time on literacy, I think, is because I am trying to wrap my head around this paradox: libraries are among the institutions striving to undo some of the inequity in our world, and yet, the principal action we take is to privilege a mode of communication used primarily by the elite.&quot; Caleb. “A Paradox in Librarianship.” February 28, 2009 – 9:18 pm.command-f - a collaborating library thing <http://command-f.info/caleb/a-paradox-in-librarianship>

Serious Games “ Overall age demographics continue much as expected. 73% of the population for September were 25 years and older. The older you are, the more time you spend in Second Life: over-45's spent an average of 64.13 hours in September, 35-44 spent 57.06 hours, 25-34 spent 45.06 hours, and the 18-24's spent less than 30 hours.

Social Media Risks: Speed & Stress We typically regard our snap judgment as best on immediate trivial questions. Is that person attractive? Do I want that candy bar? But Dijksterhuis is suggesting the opposite: that maybe that big computer in our brain that handles out unconscious is at its best when it has to juggle many competing variables. Gladwell, Malcolm. Afterword. Blink . NY: Back Bay Books, 2005, p. 267.

In microbial populations like cyanobacteria, the organisms literally switch modes from storing fat to just mutating like crazy if all else fails. They literally up their mutation rate when they’re deprived of all essential nutrients.” Steve Jurvetson on nature’s nanotechnology: http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2977

&quot;The cheapness and quickness of modern methods of communication has been like a growth of wings, so that a thousand things which were thought to belong like trees in one place may travel about like birds.” Dewey, 1901 Image by 1sock: http://flickr.com/photos/1sock/339095161/

The One Slide Project / EngageWithGrace.org Can you and your loved ones answer these questions? On a scale of 1 to 5, would you rather die in your own bed with no intervention (1) or try any proven or unproven intervention possible to preserve your life (5)? If there were a choice, would you rather die at home or in a hospital? Could a loved one correctly describe how you’d like to be treated in the case of a terminal illness? Is there someone you trust that you’ve appointed to advocate on your behalf when the time is near? Have you completed any of the following: written a living will, appointed a healthcare power of attorney, or completed an advanced directive?
