Raunchy Diesel Ad Too Hot for the Brooklyn Law School Library
Um, wow! It takes a lot to make me blush but I have to say, the risqué photographs taken by Diesel in the Brooklyn Law School library are enough to make even this librarian’s bun get tight. The Brooklyn Law School library is reportedly upset about the pictures and the interim dean has sent an email to faculty, staff and students stating as much but my question is this ~ when they gave photographers permission to use their premises for the photographs, did they give them carte blanche? Was no one from the library or college staff on site to make sure things went off without a hitch? And if…

Day 4: My Favorite Books
When I was a little girl, my favorite place in the world was the library. I was a nerdy little girl who was often the object of a lot of teasing and the butt of endless jokes, and the library was the one place the bullies never seemed to enter.

Have a Smart Phone? Use the Barcode Scanner App to Take Living Outside the Stacks with You on the Go!
Do you have a smart phone? Have you noticed that little barcode reader app in the App Store? Well, I did and, honestly, I had no idea what I’d use it for but I downloaded it anyway. Hey, I figured it’s free so give it a try and if I hate it ~ no harm, no foul. I heart it! It’s probably one of my most played with apps. I use it when I’m shopping and I can’t find the price on something, scan it with the barcode reader and voilá there’s the price. Or if I run across a book and I want to find out information about it,…
