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.
