[WEB4LIB] Re: Call for Contributors

[mawllms1]

Use a little creative thinking.  Besides, the theme is fairly wide open and 
can include aspects of LIBRARIES and WEB DESIGN.  This is Web4Lib, isn't it?

-----------------------------------
What started out in Europe as an avant-garde political reaction to the horrors of industrialism--Modernism--degenerated, upon reaching America, into dogma and style.  The result, visible all over America today, is a public realm almost entirely devoid of buildings that honor or embellish it, and a crippled civic life in which citizens are made to feel worthless.  It matters that the junior high school looks like a fertilizer factory, and that the town hall looks like a wholesale beverage warehouse, and that the library looks like a shipping container, and that a hotel looks like a medium security prison because these buildings dishonor the public realm as they dishonor their institutional roles in our lives, and in their design they make civic life impossible."  -- James H. Kunstler from Home From Nowhere
