Cute, but out of date in places just like anything printed about technology would be in this day and age. The things that are eternal - the historical facts, the opinions, the advice - were spot on though, and amusing in places, informative in others. There were a couple of places where I found the links or apps to actually no longer be in use, but otherwise there were a few good things to try out in here so it was still worth a look!
This isn't even like a textbook, this is like the most wonderful gift to someone like me who has always wanted to know all these little facts and tidbits. Short sections, clear and concise information, packaged in a user-friendly book that is as informative as it is enjoyable to consume. I now can't wait to begin my classes!
Wonderful book of trivia, with some actual potentially helpful information, for librarians. Much also applies to other professionals in other institutions, I imagine, for example museum curators, educators, perhaps even social service technicians and DMV representatives. (Did you ever think those professions would be linked?) For a person who is simply an avid reader and a fan of libraries (not necessarily of librarians), it's not all that wonderful.

Overall, it's a cute book. There were a few lists that did not withstand the test of time (for example, references to Google Reader and Google Wave LOL), but there's good info sprinkled through. I definitely found some books I'd like to read (Women Librarians in the American West? Yes, please!) and websites I want to check out if they're still around.
Either way, it's an easy, quick read for those who nerd out about libraries and those who work within them.… (altro)
