deborah: the Library of Congress cataloging numbers for children's literature, technology, and library science (Default)
[personal profile] deborah
Sometimes, when I am looking through our collections, I discover shocking, shocking things. For example, in preparing my blog entry for this week, I discovered that in 1996, the Tufts Daily editorialized on the inadequate spookiness of Spooooky World. Didn't those students understand that spooky world is Spoooooky?

In other words, being an archivist has taught me that students of the distant past (1996!) didn't truly value the cultural centers of greater Boston.

ObDisclaimer: I have never been to Spooky World. But it must be spooky. I mean, it's called Spooky World.

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
