[LM_NET] Another blog worth reading

[Jacqueline Henry <jhenry@GANANDA.ORG>]

There is a lot to think about in Christopher Harris' blog post today:
http://schoolof.info/infomancy/?p=112

I espceically liked this part regarding marketing our services:

Consequences of our Absence: What would the world be like without libraries? We can 
show our positive impact by detailing the consequences of a lack of libraries.

    * Reading the Narnia books before the movie: $28.77
    * Picking up a couple of DVDs for movie night: $38.96
    * Keeping the kids busy on the drive with Harry Potter CDs: $52.50
    * A bedtime picture book with your child: $76.09*.a week!
    * Your local library: Priceless (and no shipping or handling)

I subscribe to a ridiculous number of blogs via Bloglines - but here are the ones I 
read daily:
Blue Skunk Blog - Doug Johnson
2 Cents Worth - David Warlick
Alice in InfoLand's blog - Alice Yucht
Infomancy - Christopher Harris
Library Stuff - Steven Cohen

"The Librarian, whose job is to heal ignorance, to keep life safe for poetry and to 
put knowledge smack dab in the middle of the American way."
