Disney's Belle (love of books, propensity to burst out in song), but in a male body.
I believe in humanity: our indwelling capacity for good, our insatiable desire to make ourselves known to one another, our coruscating passion for knowledge, our ability to handle the truth, and our capacity for learning from really dumb mistakes.
I believe in humor as the universal solvent of ignorance, grief, and fear.
I believe in public libraries.
I believe in using intellectual property rights to establish a sustaining wellspring for the creative endeavors of others; I believe in the Creative Commons license.
I believe in putting final punctuation outside the quotes unless it was present in the original.
I believe in the Oxford comma.
I don't believe in rigid gender lines, violence as national economic policy, or any particular religion (though I'm congenial to many).

What MARC tags are appropriate for linking bibliographic records of an adaptation (e.g. film) to its source? Thanks. "No, this is a problem that still needs to be solved" is an excellent and valuable answer. |

How do libraries approach the challenge of interacting with the homeless? Some academic libraries have shower facilities (for example, Woodruff Library at Emory University; see yelp.com/biz/the-shower-atlanta#hrid:_dhOcmXuFE4V51oM6b3M_Q for Yelp reviews). It's possible that installing a similar facility in your library could keep the bathing to appropriate spaces. |

How do I implement an “act like a user” week for our tech services staff? I like that idea. Especially if you can partner with a neighboring county to give each other your impressions of the website, because I'd find it difficult to view my own website as if I didn't know it well. (While sober, anyway, and this isn't Work Like A Blitzed Lush Day we're talking about. That's next week, right?) |

Method for selecting a “purchasing board” from existing patrons? That reduces to a solved problem, if you'll pardon my math. There are shelves bulging with information on sample selection; you could branch the survey so that the second question begins with either "Excellent! We'd like to know more about how you view the library and how we could become worth your time." or "Excellent! We'd like to know about the ways you use the library already and ask you about some other services you might not already be using." |
