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.

 
Nice article from the Philadelphia Inquirer pointing out that the state's libraries would be better served by a decent level of state funding than by the packages of gift books they received from the First Lady.

Nothing terribly surprising, but it's always nice to see newspapers arguing so emphatically that libraries are actually important.
