The ethos of the Ohio Library Council's mission page was surprisingly candid about what it is like to work in a library and what you represent to the public. I was surprised at the honesty and I imagine I would appreciate knowing the person that wrote for their site. They also had a quote that I liked, regarding Gen Y and how open they are to using libraries and gleaning information in all the ways available. Houston on the other hand was sort of the same old public service hoo-haa that we always hear. It may be accurate, but I thought Ohio was more honest -- more progressive at its core.
The funny thing about the Ohio site was, when I went to the "Library Marketing" tab, I was sent to this dire screen that warned me this was a Reported Attack Site. Another click of my mouse and I was given information that twice in the past 90 days material had come from this site that was damaging. I'm not making this up -- check it out for yourself. I guess they have a freak-O mole that works in tech services or sets up their website...or is trying to sabotage the marketing department. Onto to assignment #7...

Even though I'm like 35 years younger than you I thought I'd let you know that I caught the Crosby Stills and Nash reference.
ReplyDeleteYou funny.
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young I believe.
ReplyDeleteYou know, back when there was still talent in that band.
Dude, Melissa Ethridge never hooked up with Neil Young-and If David Crosby is man enough for ME, he's man enough for me!
ReplyDeleteRecently, in memoriam of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, by boyfriend Will and I sat down with a friend of our's, Paul, a local musician, and had a really great discussion. We were discussing the difference between the 60's and 70's and Will and I were really interested in Paul's opinion about what happened that made those two decades so different. Finally I said, "Well, what happened Paul? What happened to the hippies?" Without missing a beat he said "I'll tell you," and he picked up his guitar and started playing this song. It was a pretty profound moment we had. So, thanks for reminding me.
