Interesting tidbits from library land

This week's edition of American Libraries Direct has a link to a 1987 college video project which has found its way to YouTube. Librarian Betty Glover, of the Charles Trumbull Hayden Library at Arizona State University, leads her staff through a strenuous library-style workout. Hey, I had the Jane Fonda excercise tape. But I never got to get in shape doing the card catalog pull, the book truck push, and the phone book stack. Guess I should make up for lost time.

On a (slightly) more serious note, the new issue of Knowledge Quest has an article by Gail Dickinson on a topic that becomes a burning issue every February in school libraries around the country. So tell me, what should one do with the swimsuit issue?

I'm really liking Sarah's idea to have it somewhere behind the desk, and when someone asks for it, hand them the issue and a sticker that says, "pervert".

I agree... It would be humiliating for them, but funny in concept.

I actually read SI for the articles, as they can have good content in them... such as the article about a defensive line coach in the NFL who got arrested for a "DWP (Driving Without Pants)", as they call it.
