[WEB4LIB] "books on the floor" metaphore

[Anthony Wilson]

Hanan, I included the quote in the Libraries FAQ,
http://www.geocities.com/awilson57/sect8.htm , and I have also tried to
track down the author:

According to Copernicus http://www.copernicus.win-uk.net/quotes.htm :

"It's like being in a library where someone has scattered all the books on
the floor, attached them together with threads and you are in the dark."
MorningSide, CBC Radio, May 1995


But then again it may be the ALA:

Or Patrick Casey (Associated Press, Oklahoma City):

http://ajr.newslink.org/web/intro.html

Or Anonymous: http://www.gananda.k12.ny.us/library/mshslibrary/LIBQTE1.HTM

> On the opening page, I want to write : "The internet is the biggest
library in
> the world with all the books on the floor".

> Does anyone know to whom can I credit this saying to ?
