You people make me proud to know you. But if you repeat it, I'll deny it. (criminals, the lot of you)

I... I think I'm just starting to grasp the true Lovecraftian horror of Voyager's data structure.
roll for SAN - DJF
I mean, I'm just saying, but if I were to create a database that imported MARC records and exported MARC records, I'd probably store the data in a structure that took advantage of MARC fields. Is this hopelessly naive? Have I just missed some vital step/sideline in the evolution of the care and transmission of bibliographic data? Is it really obvious I'm not a cataloguer? - Deborah Fitchett
*shrug* not if you wanted to index it in any half-usable fashion for search/display. there's the rub. - RepoRat
On the basis that Eureka was, in my opinion, at least half usable for search/display, I might differ from RR in this matter. I suppose one's opinion about that long-dead system's usability could differ. - Walt Crawford

19 years ago today (to the hour), I was getting home late (for a school night) from a terrible spoken word (or slam poetry) thing, where a guy named Kyle (who had a crush on me) read/performed while smoking and wearing a motorcycle(?) helmet. The phone rang as I walked in the door, and it was my best friend calling to say she'd just given birth.
When I picked up the phone, I was facing north. I was wearing a blue sweater and jeans and combat boots, and I didn't know what the word "episiotomy" meant (yet). - Meg V. Meg
Now her son is in college in Chickasha and has a girlfriend named Kat. - Meg V. Meg
Time . . . she sure does fly, don't she. - Friar Ticket to Ride
HIS DAD WORE A TOP HAT. LIKE, ALL THE TIME. His dad made the first espresso I ever drank, and played for me the first Sisters of Mercy song I ever heard, and the only one I really remember. - Meg V. Meg
wow - kendrak
He was named after a character in a book that I had just read (Rosemary Sutcliff FTW?) - Meg V. Meg
His name has FTW in it? - Yo Joe. No, go slow. from iPod
I'm always kind of surprised that the kids at Chickasha actually stay in state. But that's probably because I couldn't wait to get out. - Kirsten
Wow, I can relate to the freaky feeling. My nephew is graduating high school this May, and his dad (my brother) and mom were very very young as well, but my brother had more serious personality issues than wearing a top hat. His kid is now a top notch scholar in his high school IB program, and I couldn't be prouder. - LibrarianOnTheLoose

Thanks to many of the threads and issues discussed in LSW and on FF in general, I sounded wicked smaht, or at least well informed, in my meeting today. Thank you all for keeping me up to date.
out of curiosity, can you share what the topics of conversation were? - RepoRat
Open Access/Aaron Swartz; Elsevier; discovery tools; some other odds and ends I can't remember. - LibrarianOnTheLoose
LSW makes me look smarter every day too. LSW FTW! - John Dupuis
LSW makes me smarter. My looks are entirely my responsibility, and should not in any way reflect upon this august body. - barbara fister
LSW keeps me in touch with issues that I know are important but generally don't find the time to track down all the sources. Also, any group that would embrace tossing things into a volcano is pretty awesome. - Andy
I'm getting better about crediting LSW as my primary source for useful links these days... - Walt Crawford
Yep. This is my favorite listserv. - Steele Lawman
Please unsubscribe me from this list!!! I never signed up for it!!! - Stephen le Francoeur

*hug* - Pixie from FFHound!
5 years of survival, keeping going and filling other people's lives with joy and hope - definitely something to celebrate, my dear Iris. - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
Thank you for that. I have a hard time seeing any positives from my perspective, but now I think I have something in my eye... - lris
It's five years later, and you're still here and plugging along. I'd call that a win and reason for celebration. I'm certainly glad. - Louise "Weezy" Alcorn
Well, today's the day. - lris
Congratulations, Iris, you have made it this far with grace and grit. You have people who love and support you. Nothing is ever set in stone, and things can change. Keep the hope alive. ((hugs)) - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
"grace and grit." I like that and think it wholly appropriate in Iris's case. - Steele Lawman
Hey, Iris. You're the best. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
<3 - Pixie
Grace and grit is very apt. I am often awestruck by Iris for those reasons as well as her smarts and sense of humor. - laura x from BuddyFeed

Came home from ice cream run to giant rabid possum on back patio. Dad says to me, "keep it busy while I go get gun.". ...KEEP IT BUSY????
How does one entertain a possum? - LB: #TeamMonique
I held onto my moms hand and screamed until Smiley came out with gun. - Sarah G.
well done! - MiniMage
mental note: Sarah's screams are highly entertaining - Hieronymous Boob
Oh dear god, I believe I just pulled something laughjng - MoTO #TeamMonique from Android
Note that when guns and rabid possums are involved, it is "Mom and Dad" rather than "Mother and Daddy". Something to bring up at your next session. - sglassme

UPDATE: Dad didn't want to dispose of it last night because "sometimes they bite after they're dead" (...?) and this morning IT'S GONE. Da da duuuuuuun! - Sarah G. from iPhone
Well, it might have "played possum" after all. - c.a.j.
uh oh, zombie possums - Greg GuitarBuster

Here's an opportunity for someone to teach me some BizRef skillz. Patron wants to know if ownership of Goodyear is mostly American. I've looked at freebie reports from Hoovers, and at the Annual Report. What should I be looking for, and where? Is this information widely available?
Patron just went on and on about how fantastic we are, and I'd like to come through on this one for him. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
I'm not sure. Looking at their proxy statement, there don't look like there are that many holders of more than 5% of the stock (http://www.sec.gov/Archive... (you're looking for the "BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF COMMON STOCK " table - this may or may not be in their annual report - it's a separate filing to the SEC & I don't remember if it's generally included in the annual report). Hmm. - ellbeecee
L-N Corporate Affiliations is the who's your daddy look up service for companies we used to have it in print in the publib... lemme check the online version here - Christina Pikas
oh, i gues ellbeecee has the better approach ... i did find that it's a public company and it isn't a subsidiary of anything else (but has 176 subsidiaries) - Christina Pikas
here's what you want, Ro - http://law.lexisnexis.com/infopro... - I just think it's going to be time consuming to find this info (unless you can do a data dump from Edgar of all of the Form 3 & 4s, and then use excel to filter by non-US locations, if any) - ellbeecee
I could, if it was really necessary, head down to our bloomberg terminal. of course, that would mean remembering how to use the damn thing. :) - ellbeecee
And finally, digging into that L/N link, this looks excellent - http://www.vickers-stock.com - under report type, pick "top 10 holders", the ticker is GT, and both report types will give you names/ percentages for the top 10 holders, and then those can be researched to find out where they're based. - ellbeecee
So, what you are saying is that it is info that is not readily available info to a poor slob public librarian with limited database access? ;-) Honestly, the effort that I put into this is as important as the answer. So, you guys are making me look good, even if I don;'t come up with a definitive answer. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
Okay. We're good. Thanks! - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro

Paging Lawson: Given that you follow MMA more closely than I do, why have you not alerted me to Ronda Rousey? Because holy frak she's amazingly good. Judo FTMFW.
Apologies? She's incredible--her entire professional career is like a five minute highlight reel. Everyone knows that she's going to try and take her opponent's arm home with her, and every time she just does it in the first round anyway in front of God and everyone. - Steele Lawman
And I'm psyched for GSP's return to the octagon on Saturday. Sadly, my gaming group hasn't played for weeks, so I'm going to go play Dresden Files RPG instead of watching the fight live, because I gotta stick with my nerd homies over jocks on TV. - Steele Lawman
Also, Rousey and GSP have the two most beautiful physiques in sports. - Steele Lawman
Yeah, I don't follow regularly, just dip in and out of following the sport. But I saw a Metafilter post on Rousey, and then basically mainlined everything on youtube. I didn't know GSP was back this weekend. Need to find a way to watch that... - Jason Griffey
Montreal is going NUTS over GSP's return. will be able to watch it in pretty much any bar in town. - jambina
I like this thread solely because I do not understand a word of it. - laura x
Me too! For a second, I thought "NUTS" was an acronym. - Meg V. Meg
It's about former judo olympian and current MMA title holder Ronda Rousey. Decent highlight reel here: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Jason Griffey

Paper of drudgery saved by realization that terms of assignment do not require example of effective leader to be someone who held a formal business/organizational position. Ralph Waldo Emerson elevated from argument to instance. Quoting Louisa May Alcott. WAY MORE FUN THAN TALKING ABOUT STEVE JOBS.

Jessamyn West, "How not to write about libraries – some guidelines for reporters," librarian.net - http://www.librarian.net/stax...
Pull quote: “There is a strong case to be made that the push for increasing digitization will be a net good for a society that is increasingly looking to satisfy their information needs online. However we are far from that point now, the digital divide is real and formidable. The vendor-based silos of information which are inaccessible without a payment or a password vex us as much as, if not more than, they vex you. We are trying to help people access the information they want and need. We’re sorry that the shift to digital content is causing trouble for some businesses’ bottom line, but we’ve always been publishers’ best customers and that will change only if they force it to. We would prefer that digital rights management were less onerous too. We would be happy to talk with you at length about why it’s easier to buy something from Amazon.com for personal use than it is to borrow it from the library on your Kindle. Blame copyright and capitalism, not the library.” - Stephen le Francoeur

A patron who has been coming in for 8+ months looking for work, just came in and said he finally found full time work with benefits, in the field he trained for, and thanked me for my support and advice. So very happy for him, and grateful for the reminder of why I do this.
*hugs you* Did you ask him for a loan? - Steele Lawman
Yeah - I just spent 30 minutes with a patron, spiffying his resume and getting everything ready for him to go to the career center to try to find a job. It's a satisfying way to spend your day, yes? - WebGoddess
It's like a happy ending! Too few these days. Go Ro! - Marge LW
This is why public librarians are my heroes. Honestly, it feels amazing to have a student come back and tell me I helped them do well on an assignment. But the impact of helping somebody find a job, study for citizenship, register to vote--that is so much bigger. - kaijsa
