Watch this video for the soundtrack

Seriously. You may or may not care about spelling reform, but the soundtrack for this video is amazing! A mash-up of Gun 'n Roses with the Jackson 5. It works!

Huh, this was a bit odd. Here's our library's Christmas tree:

Yes. We actually did have a Christmas tree with decorations in that very spot, but it was taken down on the last day of finals earlier this week, even though we're still open until Christmas Eve. I have no idea why that happened.

Greetings visitors!

Welcome to those who stumbled across this blog in their internet wanderings. I find it interesting that the one post I made way back about the Noguchi filing system is easily the most viewed page ever on this blog. (Because someone else who blogged about Noguchi linked to every single blog post, including mine, about the filing system.)

For one of the overseas visitors, I don't know how library interviews in other countries are conducted compared to the U.S. (and I've only experienced U.S. academic law libraries anyway), but good luck!

And for the visitor from the Netherlands, I find it interesting that the Dutch flag is basically the French tricolor turned on its side. Is that supposed to be an insult to the French for their occupation of your country? Somewhat like if Iran or Venezuela (or another country that the U.S. gets along well with) changed its national flag to be an upside-down American flag? That's probably not correct (and I'm sure I could find the real history elsewhere), but I like my version of the truth better.
