Just wanted to comment on this part of the post:
------------------------------------------------
I was most bothered by the apparent  lack of credentials on the
part of the authors that this librarian was  recommending.
-------------------------------------------------

I'm not sure what it takes to be "credentialed." Rick Santorum is a U.S. 
senator. Is he less credentialed than, say, Hillary Clinton who wrote the 
book, "It Takes a Village"? David Horowitz has a Masters degree and has 
written several books. He was at one time a liberal. I wonder if the staff 
would have objected to him in those days.  Bat Ye'or has also written 
several books and has studied at the University of Geneva. She was born a 
Jew in Egypt, became a British citizen and has lived in Europe. Who better 
to discuss EuroArab relations? I don't know much about Kupelian except that 
he is a conservative. It seems to me that this staff is more concerned about 
the authors' political leanings than their credentials. On the other hand, 
it probably would have served this librarian better had he recommended books 
from a variety of viewpoints.

Just my thoughts.
