[WEB4LIB] Re: The "Commercialized" Library

[Drew, Bill]

The students in any of our libraries are probably just as qualified as most
of the reviewers on Amazon.Com.  I found that could submit a review under
any name for my own book if I had wanted to.  Perhaps what would really be
valuable would be links to Library Journal or Choice Magazine reviews.  Now
that could have a real impact and add great value to the catalog.

You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people
sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing
wild animals as librarians.
