		<description><![CDATA[Every once in a while, people complain that library school is too easy, and that because it’s too easy, just about everyone who gets in gets through. Or maybe that&#8217;s just me. Anyway. Combine this with the likelihood that just about everyone who wants to go to library school could manage to get in somewhere. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A Kind Reader sent me this blog post from the Huffington Post entitled “What’s a Library?” Like Pontius Pilate, he didn’t stay for an answer. Normally I find the Huffington Post painful to read, since it seems to be aimed at an audience of the insecure and the mentally challenged. “Is this normal? Sex questions [...]]]></description>

A Kind Reader forwarded me last week’s American Libraries Direct, which has helpful links to three online workshops the ALA is offering. Pretty trendy stuff, too.
