Okay, so you're about my age. :) You got into the tech earlier than I did (the first 'puter I ever worked with, other than the mostly useless Apple IIs at school, was a Commodore 64).

What bugs me about the whole librarian vs. tech thing is a strong unwillingness to experiment. Yeah, you know, maybe IM in libraries is a stupid idea. But how are we gonna know for sure unless we try?

And obviously we can't try everything. And obviously we should think it through before we try. But I keep seeing these two obviosities trotted out as reasons not to try anything new at all, and that makes me sad. And sometimes angry.

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.
