Vast Active Library and Information Science blog. From a recent library science graduate in Wellington, New Zealand. A focus on reference and current awareness tools and issues, especially free, web-based resources.

 
School board cuts funding that paid for school librarian. School has no librarian. Books are sitting around in boxes, with children unable to take them out. Volunteers are "filing" the books. But more books, brought through a grant, "cannot be placed out until they are logged into the new computer system." Let's fervently hope that they don't ask these parent volunteers, dedicated though they surely are, to catalogue the new books.
