– a concept, an attitude – and this blog
This is actually quite a funny joke but possibly not the most sensitive time for a Northamptonshire MP to Tweet it when 21 of his own county’s libraries are about to be closed. Please persuade @DCMS to investigate the situation before it is too late. https://t.co/MVWydIuU9T

Overheard: «The library should just keep doing exactly what it’s doing, but charge users fees for all its services.» Which is kind of like saying «You know the one thing that would make this sandwich better, is if it were a lawnmower.»

You know, as a librarian I don’t think we (certainly me) acknowledge how much ‘just being a librarian’ is respected, acknowledged or indeed aspired too. It’s a profession to be proud of, w such strong, open values, infused w public good & access to knowledge #OpenRepo2018

«Libraries should be open, and free, and properly subsidized by an intelligent state that values knowledge.» says Philip Pullman in this excellent collection of authors saying how important libraries are to them. https://t.co/Z0gPKcdOe7

Dagens tweet er et tankekors fra øyriket i vest. Hvorfor er politikere så uinteresserte i bibliotek når budsjettet skal fastlegges, men så opptatt av å bli avbilda i bibliotek? Når de for eksempel besøker en skole.
Why when politicians do a photo call in schools do they do it in the school library, yet won’t adequately fund them? What happens if libs are closed? Will that mean no more photo calls and don’t bother with the fact that young people will be denied access to information? pic.twitter.com/ICsjjcO5A4

Dette var også Knut Hegna innom i en av sine i alt 50 tekster med tittelen «Mandag Morgen fra Informatikk», der han fra Informatikkbiblioteket ved UiO sendte uhøytidelige hilsener til kollegene over i Realfagsbiblioteket. Han samla dem i ei pdf-fil, der nummer 15 heter «Bibliotek og bøker som kulisse.»
Konklusjonen hans kan oppfattes som både en seier og et tap: «Det digitale bibliotek egner seg i hvert fall ikke som kulisse.» (Et bildesøk på «digital library» bekrefter dette. Så er det heller ikke mange politikere å se)
Privatiseringsforkjemper og FrP-er Peter N. Myhre er i vinden på Twitter etter overraskende (for ham) å ha uttrykt misnøye med all reklamen på TV Norge under OL-sendingene. Vi orker ikke gå i detalj om dette, men blant de mange syrlige kommentarene finner vi dette minneverdige intervjuet med ham i Aftenposten i 1988:
Vi må aldri glemme dette intervjuet med Peter N. Myhre pic.twitter.com/tF9KrnpbWM

Public libraries should be beacons of info. literacy, education & safety. They should enable, empower & excite and not be seen as loose ends that need tying. To do this, you need information professionals who are qualified, developed and skilled. Volunteers can help, not lead. https://t.co/KrzVmJDRCj
