From a promotional email: "EBSCO Discovery Service offers by far the strongest, 'thickest' metadata of any discovery service." O RLY?
o.O that is the weirdest advertising pitch I think I have ever heard. - D0r0th34
Dayum, it just got hot in here. *fans self* - Rochelle Rochelle from fftogo
Bowchickabowwow! - josh neff, geek at large
... y'all are going to think I am incurably dense, because I hadn't even considered that, er, angle. - D0r0th34
That's what she said. I mean really. She just said it. - s t e v e
I'm with Dorothea on this one: inexplicable, yes. Suggestive? Only in the minds of certain LSW members. (Including, now, unfortunately, me. Snerk.) - Catherine Pellegrino
I can't find that exact text, but there's http://www.ebscohost.com/discove... in which EBSCO mentions "deeper and wider indexing" and a collection "massive in size and scope." Mrrrrrrrrrow. - D0r0th34
That's the spirit, Dorothea! - s t e v e
I always suspected those EBSCO folks were thick. - barbara fister
LOL Dorothea! Oh jeez, I'm never going to be able to read promotional literature for databases again, am I? - Catherine Pellegrino
I'm just picturing the competitor's slogans. "We can satisfy your patrons' desire for hot facets." "Drill down to the freshest, just-published citations." - s t e v e
LexisNexis is going to promote their "barely legal" full-text journals. - Jàson Puçkett
Hey, it's not like these vendors are new to screwing libraries or anything. - s t e v e

They also play up their "personal service," "Web-based tool," and "creative ideas in the palm of your hand." - LB - all new for '10!
Tool! I knew there was something I forgot to search. - s t e v e
"Web-based tool" is killing me, LB. i iz ded. - Marie drinks champagne
LOL, Steve! I'll bet you found some doozies! - LB - all new for '10!
They also have an "authoritative literary tool" if you're into that sort of thing. - LB - all new for '10!
Yeah, so I'm thinking to decision to go to library school? The right one. - Derrick
I might add "Authoritative Literary Tool" under "Humanities Librarian" on my business cards. - s t e v e
Double-dog dare you, Steve. - Catherine Pellegrino

Audrey's newest trick. If you say "cheeseburger face" to her, this is what she does.

Of course babby can haz cheezburger! - LB - all new for '10!
(What does babby like to eat now?) - Ayşe E.
You gotta turn this picture into a card of some type. - DO ANYBODY NO MONIQUE
So...cheeseburger face? Dare I ask how this came about? :D And I agree with Mo...this pic deserves to be on a card of some sort. :D - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
Amanda, it started out by me saying "say cheese!" and getting her to smile. Somehow "cheese" morphed into "cheeseburger"! - Rochelle
Ayse, her favorites right now are sweet potatoes, mangoes, banana, and Ritz crackers. - Rochelle
LOL!!! We say "cheeseburger" in my family too, and that is *exactly* the kind of face we make. - Anna Haro
Audrey and I have some faves in common. :) - Ayşe E.
Soooo cute :) - Nicholas Kreidberg
There is not a word that exists that describes how delightful "Cheeseburger Face" is. - felicious
Omg I love her so much. - Mona Nomura
Also note the fact that's she's 11.5 months old and still has NO TEETH. We're going to have to get her some baby dentures soon. - Rochelle
No teeth? I bit through a bottle nipple at 6 weeks; when my mom noticed she was happy she wasn't breast feeding, bit my development was odd in general. - RAPatton from iPhone
No teeth at all, not even bumps or dots or anything! - Rochelle
Having no teeth is what makes it even cuter :) - Charlotte M
i wonder if being older will make teething easier or harder for her - RAPatton
Our kids didn't get teeth until after a year, but it didn't stop them eating whatever we were eating. I still remember Sarah, now 19, eating corn on the cob with two teeth. - MaryB, BrandingBroadOfFF
Can I like this one again? - Louis Gray
Yeah. I like it again, too. - Trish Haley
You'll know when the teeth come. Oh yes. - Josh Haley from iPhone
[like] :D - Alix Whitmire
Still no teeth? - Matthew DeVries
No teeth. - Rochelle
Did the ENT's do X-Rays pre-surgery? They'd be able to see if the teeth are up there at least. - Matthew DeVries
No, they didn't do any x-rays. - Rochelle
I got my teeth really late, too. Like 11 months, I think. - Jason, Craving from Android

Fantastic! - Galadriel C.

Patron: I need to look at the volume that is bottom center. I need to see more info about that book by J. Aardsmann... - Joe
i'm doing this on monday. there are 2 librarians who swear that they use the NUC daily (BALONEY) so we'll see what happens. heh. - jambina
Our NUC is in boxes in our high density storage facility. - DJF
Catherine, just explain to people that your tree is dying. That's all. - Miriella
not dying! those colors are the ornaments! - ~Courtney F.
Everyone at my library loved this. Maybe we'll even do it next year. - barbara fister
We ain't got a NUC. Maybe an ice-blue DLB tree? - s t e v e

I just didn't want to ruin the mint condition of my copy! Thanks for supplying the pdf version. Now to seek that elusive "Radical Red" colored crayon and get to work! - Dana Longley
Agreed, I didn't tear it out because I didn't want to mess up my archival copy. :) - Jàson Puçkett
I don't abigail, but I do have the 64 pack at home. With the built in sharpener (do they still do that? I've had these for a long time) - ÉllbeeÇee
Is the "must be 18 or older to enter" for real? 'Cause if not, I'm totally letting J go at it this weekend. - Catherine Pellegrino
Yes, please clarify if children of LSW members are eligible. Because we've got some talent amongst the youngsters in my family. - Joan
Ok, after coloring this, I need to buy at least one coloring book to have in the house (or print stuff out). That was relaxing! - ÉllbeeÇee
i'd color, but my crayons are hiding somewhere with my coloring books...luckily, i have an idea where they might be :) - Katie
Oh, heck no. All ages. - s t e v e

I left a comment...I'm curious about the connection he draws between disagreeing with LJ's promotion of the AL, and the use of Movers & Shakers to promote oneself. David? - Jason Griffey
I'll be curious to hear what David says about that. I think that there would be a bit of a disconnect if the same person is saying "LJ editorial standards are crap because they publish the AL" and "I am proud to have the LJ editors' seal of approval as a Mover and Shaker." - s t e v e
Erm. If LJ editorial standards are crap, I'm in trouble, 'long of how I've been published there and all. - D0r0th34
I don't think I'd say that LJ's editorial standards are crap...even though I DO disagree with them publishing the AL. But that said, I really see M&S as an award from my peers...someone had to nominate me (probably several someones). But maybe that's me over-parsing my personal part of it. Plus, what Dorothea said... - Jason Griffey
Well, note that I said "*if* someone is saying that." I'm not personally concerned about it, but that's what I think David is saying. He also says that LJ publishes lots of stuff that reflects badly on librarians. - s t e v e
Wonderful. I keep thinking whether I should try to say something about this whole event, and David's done such a fine job here that I probably won't. Doubt that I'll do any vlogs, but I sure liked this one. (And I've commented at David's blog, to close the circle.) - Walt Crawford
Well, and I quibble with the idea that LJ is a library-propaganda arm constrained to publish only "rah-rah libraries!" stuff. Some of the stuff librarians do is bogus. If LJ reports that, more power to LJ. - D0r0th34
And this is the answer? Yup. Right on David! - ɥsıuɐʎɹ
Weak editorial standards can still allow in good stuff- and there *is* good stuff in LJ. There's also a lot of crap. - David Rothman (☤)
Barbara Fister. Andrew Albanese (before he moved to PW, sigh). Peter Jaczo. They publish better stuff than American Libraries at present. - D0r0th34
Wondering if AL will be nominated or receive M&S for 2010...would be kind of like when Time was going to give Man of the Year to Osama bin Laden. Time's comment: "He is not a larger than life figure with broad historical sweep...he is smaller than life, a garden-variety terrorist whose evil plan succeeded beyond his highest hopes." - Lori Reed
Mister Muggles was played (with unusual patience) by my kitty, Shelby....who felt it was a good stretch to play a male cat. - David Rothman (☤)
Best thing I've watched online in ages! :) I honestly can't say that I disagree with anything you said there. I totally wrote off M&S after they honored a certain master of sock-puppetry (though I probably should have sooner). - Meredith
In addition to praising the content (with which I can't find fault), I also want to say that I've never quite gotten the point of videos that are just a talking head...why not just write down what you have to say? Except, now I get it. Bravo. - Catherine Pellegrino
Ditto Catherine! I've never been much of a video person. This is everything a video blog post should be, but usually isn't. - Meredith
Catherine, I had the same reaction. Usually I feel like, "I just want to read your words at my own pace. Please no video." This piece convinced me that sometimes it's worth it to hit Play. :) - Rachel Walden
It was so helpful to have all of David's inflections and mannerisms the occasional silly face. It would have come across quite differently in print, I think. - marthalib
What Rachel, Catherine, Marthalib and Meredith just said. Damn, there are a lot of smart female librarians on FF. (Maybe that's because there are a lot of smart...oh, never mind.) - Walt Crawford
Yeah, it transmits all of those non-verbal cues quite nicely that we wouldn't have gotten with just the text. Plus, I made it through David's entire video without wanting to stop it. That wasn't a bad way to spend roughly 7 minutes. - Peter Murray
David, I wish there was a non-award that I could "nominate" you for. 'Cause that was your greatest video ever. - Greg Schwartz
Finally got to watch this. Completely brilliant. Thank you - laura x
David got it absolutely right. - Pete
Mr. Rothman provides a fine model for avoiding ad hominem attacks while being constructively critical. Bravo. - Evil Librarian
Y'all are very kind- thanks for all the feedback. :) - David Rothman (☤)
This was great. Part of me wonders, though, how honest and forthright some folks (maybe not you) would be with criticism of Library 101 if the AL hadn't been so snarky about it in the first place. But that doesn't detract from how much I enjoyed this. Thanks, David. - Joan
I think that if AL hadn't been so snarky then ppl who found the video lame would probably have looked at the *intention* of the project - to work together to discuss essential skills for librarians given the technological/social climate- and put their energy there instead of discussing whether low blows and rudeness are appropriate professional skills. - Kathryn says love n peace from iPhone
Whatever your views, you have to realize that DR wants to suppress certain forms of expression, while LJ tries to find things to publish. Surely librarians believe in the LJ way. Ad Hominem comment is not new to librarianship. I remember when the gret Jesse Shera said the great Lawrence Clark Powell acted like "a butterfly in heat." - John Berry
HAH! That's pretty funny, Mr. Berry. No, I don't want to suppress anything. Shera's comments were ATTRIBUTED TO HIM. I think you make your trade mag look even worse than it is by publishing nasty remarks from an unidentified author, that's all. Thanks, though, for trying to cast me as pro-censorship! That'll give a lot of people I know a really good chuckle. :) - David Rothman (☤)
I just noticed something, John (may I call you John?): Did you seriously sign up for FriendFeed just to leave that one silly comment? http://friendfeed.com/johnber... - David Rothman (☤)
One last thought. John Berry wrote that "LJ tries to find things to publish." Try harder, dude. There's LOTS of great writing you could've decided to publish- but in order to get as many clicks as possible, you went for the lowest common denominator: pseudonymous nastiness. - David Rothman (☤)
Is that really John Berry? Or is there a sock puppet among us? - Katy S
Katy++. JBerry isn't the hit-and-run type, I don't think; he ought to know better by now. - D0r0th34
I'd like to think that the real John Barry recognizes the difference between solid criticism & suppression. I mean, that's a college freshman-level argument. - josh neff, geek at large
Hehehe. Trying to find Berry's columns in the Wayback Machine or Google Cache on the "annoying librarian" from 2007, but it's all midget porn comments now. - s t e v e

'Another answer to the question “What good is the cookbook?” lies in what might be called the grammatical turn: the idea that what the cookbook should supply is the rules, the deep structure—a fixed, underlying grammar that enables you to use all the recipes you find.' - John Dupuis
