[/quote:mbmeeiia]
I use OCLC WRS for my job and it goes down periodically. And then everyone on the listserv floods the email with messages saying "WRS is down." It's a joy, let me tell you. Still preferable to NUCMC all thing considering.

What's the difference between WRS and Connexion?
And the spelling of Connexion makes me nuts!

WRS is for interlibrary loan. Connexion is for cataloging. They're all linked together though.

So this is nice. I was in yoga class, talking to someone about my studies, when someone with whom I only have a nodding acquaintance took notice. After class, she asked me about my studies - where I was going, what classes I was taking, etc. Then she explains that she has her library degree, and that the company often has positions for part-time paid interns. She told me that she would keep me in mind and that I should talk to her around the time that I graduate.
It seems like I passed the interview, even though I didn't realize it was happening <g>

="ScarletKnight41":jr5f07r6]Does the OCLC Connexion go down often?
I had the day set aside to work on my Cataloging assignment, only to have the friggin' system crash on me. When it came up, one of my four records had been nuked. Ugh!
The good news is that I have an extremely understanding teacher, so she would have understood if I needed extra time, etc. But it's a horrible feeling to be unable to access something that you spent a good deal of time developing.[/quote:jr5f07r6]
OCLC actually called me this afternoon. They have been troubleshooting why my classmates and I have been having so much trouble this semester. Apparently they think that if we validate a record too many times (i.e. more than four) it "corrupts" the record.
It seems like a pretty stupid system if that's all it takes to freeze it up. But it sounds like it's worth a try - I won't validate any of my records for my final project until I'm almost done with them (and I'll copy and paste them before validating them).

An Interlibrary Loan Poem
The book that came for you today
is from a thousand miles away,
a place that I have never seen
except on a computer screen.
The hands of one not known to me
selected this book carefully
and gladly sent it on demand
to place it in a stranger's hand.
Anonymous on either end,
in sharing spirit we will send
our books with care across the miles
and know somewhere a stranger smiles.

Of course, there's also the research aspect (there's more to online research than Google and Wikipedia), readers advisory, cataloging, instruction, and knowing where and how to find things. In the 21st Century, librarians are information specialists.

Thanks, Scarlett. I figured that hadda be more to it than "Shhhh!"
I remember one manic librarian at my high school. She would do a SteveJRogers-style freak out if anyone spoke slightly above a whisper. Nobody would hear the offending party but her, but then she'd shout for about five minutes about how the person who spoke slightly above a whisper was distracting and disturbing everybody.
She probably should have looked into a less stressful job. Like air traffic control or something.

Is there any way for a bare-assed antropomorphic beaver to read responsibly? Does he merely need to stop reading vertically or is he hopeless on several other counts?
In what order does the responsible librarian intercede in these horrendous acts? I imagine she or he starts with the the Evel Knieval kid, takes his skateboard and then uses it to whack the guy pushing over the case as he makes time with the 14-year-old girl.
Our heroine seems more concerned with the beaver and the motorized misanthrope though.

Better late than never -
| ]Man pays library $171, 47-year late fee
Associated Press
HANCOCK, Mich. - Robert Nuranen handed the local librarian a book he'd checked out for a ninth-grade assignment - along with a check for 47 years' worth of late fees.
Nuranen said his mother misplaced the copy of "Prince of Egypt" while cleaning the house. The family came across it every so often, only to set it aside again. He found it last week while looking through a box in the attic.
"I figured I'd better get it in before we waited another 10 years," he said after turning it in Friday with the $171.32 check. "Fifty-seven years would be embarrassing."
The book, with its last due date stamped June 2, 1960, was part of the young Nuranen's fascination with Egypt. He went on to visit that country and 54 others, and all 50 states, he said, but he never did finish the book.
Nuranen now lives in Los Angeles, where he teaches seventh-grade social studies and language arts.
The library had long ago lost any record of the book, librarian Sue Zubiena said.
"I'm going to use it as an example," she said. "It's never too late to return your books." |

ANDERSON, S.C. (AP) - Police say a security guard at the Anderson County Library fired his gun at a car after the driver triggered a security alarm.
Police say security guard James Turner asked the woman to stop after the alarm went off as she left around 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
A police report states Turner chased the woman as she ran to her car and he said the bumper brushed his knee as she pulled away.
Police say the guard then fired into the driver's door. Authorities say the woman kept going and they don't know if she was hurt.
Library director Carl Stone says he's asked Cherokee Security Systems not to send Turner back to the library. Stone says no one should be hurt over a missing library book.

For New-Look Librarians, Head to Brooklyn
BY GARY SHAPIRO - Staff Reporter of the Sun
July 5, 2007
URL: http://www.nysun.com/article/57835
Williamsburg is known for cool bistros and trendy hangouts, but few realize that the neighborhood and its environs are a magnet for hip, young librarians. Although "hip" is not an adjective generally associated with librarians, a stack of archivists, publishers, illustrators, librarians, and other bibliophiles called the Desk Set is out to challenge their image as staid.
The traditional idea of a librarian is "uptight in a bun," the group's co-founder, Maria Falgoust, said. "It would be nice if we could change that."
To follow up on a well-attended Desk Set dance party Memorial Day weekend at Enid's in Greenpoint, Ms. Falgoust is planning a screening of "Desk Set," the 1957 Katharine Hepburn-Spencer Tracy romantic comedy from which the group took its name, for the end of this month. She is also considering a Labor Day weekend dance party.
"Being smart and having fun are not opposites," a digital imaging specialist at the Brooklyn Museum, Sarah Gentile, who has a master's degree in library science, said at the Desk Set dance party. Ms. Gentile and others wore pins with such statements as "Withdrawn" or "She blinded me with Library Science." The mood was more merriment than Merriam-Webster.
"Prepare to be shushed!" read the announcement for the event, at which the reference desk revelers downed cocktails with Dewey Decimal numbers instead of names. No one guessed the identity of a concoction of Champagne and raspberry vodka that had the call number of "The Joy of Sex." Lime Rickeys were served in honor of F. Scott Fitzgerald, as was gin and pineapple juice, said to be a favorite of Vladimir Nabokov.
Ms. Falgoust and Sarah Murphy started the group, having met at Long Island University's Palmer School of Library and Information Science. The group held its first event last April.
One librarian, Laura Bishop, said she first became aware of the high concentration of librarians in Brooklyn during the transit strike in 2005, when librarians had the option of going to work at their nearest branch. She recalled how about 10 headed to the Greenpoint Branch, and each knew of at least one additional librarian in the area. Ms. Bishop said one likely reason for the significant number of young librarians in Brooklyn is the relatively affordable rent.
A sculptor who earned a degree in library science at the Pratt Institute, Julia Weist, said a number of Brooklyn librarians and bibliophiles met through a recent year-long gallery show at Proteus Gowanus that linked art and library science. Her own artwork includes a card catalog sliced open like a grand piano and a catalog of withdrawn public library books from across America.
The Desk Set has its own MySpace page. Many of the Desk Set librarians are in their 20s and early 30s and adept at new technology. A coordinator of reference services and 'zine librarian at Barnard College Library, Jenna Freedman, said a lot of professional communication among librarians has migrated from journals to blogs.
Recent attendees at Desk Set events have included an archivist at Unicef, a librarian at the Frick Art Reference Library, and the American Kennel Club librarian.
At Enid's, the crowd was checking out each other rather than books.
"I wore my glasses because I wanted to maximize my look," a children's librarian, Andrea Vaughn, said. "I already got hit on," she added. "It's working."
Asked about trends in children's books, Ms. Vaughn said a growing area involves helping develop preliteracy. "Children need to have a listening vocabulary to prepare them for speaking and reading," she said.
"Guybrarians" were also in evidence. A private tutor, Orion Taraban, confided that librarians were "reserved" but "secretly passionate." An archivist at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Jesse Cohen, said it was a good sign that the librarians were difficult to distinguish from the neighborhood denizens packing the bar.
How badly does the image of librarians need updating? A private school librarian, Natasha Cane, recounted how she knew someone whose mother cried when her daughter told her that she wanted to become a librarian. Ms. Cane, who was wearing a pin that read "Can I help you find what you need?" said the Desk Set could help provide an "alternative vision" for being a librarian today. Ms. Cane, who grew up in New Jersey, recalled having had "too much fun" at her local library growing up, but now her job includes shushing kids behaving as she had.
Asked how she can tell the archivists from the librarians, Ms. Cane said, "Different gang colors." |

The last few times I have ordered a book at the library they gave me them in paper back, not that I minded but did that always happen, onetime I got a paper back that I returned as soon as the Librarian gave it to me because it was in such bad shape.

Can any of you librarians find me sources of information about the Judge Crater case, other than the obvious books I can find on Amazon?
I have proQuested through the NY Times for 1930-31, and saved every article on the Crater case.
And now for something completely different -- where can I look for pictures of Brunner, Texas (which no longer exists) around the first decade of the 20th century?

Starting with the second question first - keep in mind that no one search engine covers the entire web, so it's good to run a search in several different ones. With any of these search engines I would do an advanced search for Brunner, Texas during the relevant time period (where such a search is available) -
[url=http://www.google.com/:k455ts33]Google.com[/url:k455ts33]
[url=http://www.yahoo.com/:k455ts33]Yahoo.com[/url:k455ts33]
[url=http://www.msn.com/:k455ts33]Msn.com[/url:k455ts33]
[url=http://www.zuula.com/:k455ts33]Zuula.com[/url:k455ts33] (note - Zuula includes the above search engines, but it doesn't have the same advanced search options)
[url=http://www.ask.com/?o=0&l=dir:k455ts33]Ask.com[/url:k455ts33]
[url=http://www.dogpile.com/:k455ts33]Dogpile.com[/url:k455ts33]
[url=http://clusty.com/:k455ts33]Clusty.com[/url:k455ts33]
For the first question, I would do similar searches under web for "Judge Crater" (use the quotation marks while searching) and also check out [url=http://scholar.google.com/:k455ts33]Google Scholar[/url:k455ts33]. I think that [url=http://www.lexisnexis.com/:k455ts33]Lexis/Nexis[/url:k455ts33] is now available without a fee. Other legal websites include [url=http://www.plol.org/Pages/Search.aspx:k455ts33]The Public Library of Law[/url:k455ts33] and the Internet resources listed on the [url=http://www.njlla.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=2:k455ts33]New Jersey Law Librarians Association's website[/url:k455ts33].
Another thing you should do is check out your local library's website, as well as the website of your local high school or school district. These sources often have passwords or other instructions that would allow you access to subscription websites that you might not be able to find otherwise.
