Fighting on Facebook

I am not sure if I would want my dirty laundry to be air in such a public forum. Isn't this like seeing a couple fight in a restaurant etc?  I Need to Vent. Hello, Facebook.

Book review: 'This Book Is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All,' by Marilyn Johnson

Book review: 'This Book Is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All,' by Marilyn Johnson I have been an information scientist for the last ten years. I recently went out with a friend, who told me that librarians will be of no use because of Google.

I am not sure if this book  will support my argument, but librarians and information scientists are stewardships and navigators in this information age. Google and other search engines can overload anyone with too much information, I like to think of the librarian as a guide in the search journey.
