Todos os dias recebo mais de 40 e-mails do fórum sobre bibliotecas públicas [PubLib] e tendo em conta o volume de mensagens já muitas vezes estive para cancelar a subscrição. Sempre que tenho um dia mais complicado, estou sem paciência para ler mensagens ou vou de férias começa a crescer o número de mensagens por ler até atingir rapidamente as centenas!"Avatars! Linden Dollars! Librarianship!
Librarianship? What ARE they talking about?
