I guess this is where your ethics come into play and you choose to do the right thing.

~ Mary Lou

I expect, as the learning continues our views will be everchanging.

~Dee

Librarians have some unique skills to bring to society.

~Linda

Librarians share a body of knowledge that enables them to do what they do….who cares what you call it!

~Susanna

Give me a good, paper and ink book, and a window seat or a beanbag chair any day!

~Laura

I'll keep walking, but I confess to feeling a little overwhelmed.

~Susanna

I find myself escaping to books more and more.

~Jenny

I am green with envy when I see kitchens with built-in bookshelves. Maybe someday . . .

~Kate

It seems to me that we, society, are never satisfied.

~Wendy

People come into the library the first time because they are looking for a resource. They keep coming back because of the service.

~Debra

By counting on "someone, somewhere" to save things, we may unwittingly be throwing them away.

~ Mary Lou

And I don't necessarily mean that in a "now begins scary music in soundtrack" kind of way!

~Susanna

I mean, in Star Trek....and yes I know, that's not real life (smile), the tools are still hugely important.

~Kim

I actually got goosebumps and tingling through my arms and head. This is the best news ever! Thank you so so much! I think I love you.

~Carol

Walking the library, checking with our patrons, asking at random if they need help, and just in general being on the floor to talk with them and welcome them would do a lot for our profession.

~Kim

Do we have a "light" side as well as a "serious" side?

~Becky

It made me realize that in some minds and hearts, the librarian is the library.

~Maureen

I swear, he must have been frightened by a scientist at an early age...

~Amy

...boredom is often our first refuge in the face of what is outside of the familiar.

~Susanna

Perhaps this is where my status as a "spring chicken", relatively speaking, in this class comes in. ;)

~Jessica

How can our library system (in whatever format) fail to flourish with proactive, forward thinking ideas like these? We have such a smart group of people here! (smiling)

~Debi

Information really is neither good nor evil, just in one's perception of it.

~Steve

I think our biggest challenge will be not just to keep up with the changing technology, but to keep ahead of it so that we can be the policymakers and leaders regarding information technology.

~Kate

Information is not the problem, how someone uses that information might be, but does that mean that we should restrict access to information or monitor what everyone else is researching because of how they might use that information?

~Kellin

Librarians share a body of knowledge that enables them to do what they do….who cares what you call it!

~Susanna

I see more interaction between librarians and patrons and I hope to help dispel the beliefs I had as a child for those who still see librarians as the people who shelve books.

~Christine

Today libraries are not the only source of information as they once were.

~Christopher

Quite often it is better to wait awhile, until the kinks are worked out.

~Carol
