Post from Maria Popova @brainpicker "Some vintage ads and posters for all books? Delightfully colorful and brimming with endearingly bad copywriting, these mid-century gems exude the same charming literary enthusiasm we've previously seen in the reading PSA posters of the WPA era"

Christ Brogan chooses his three words for 2010: ecosystems, owers, kings. These three words will guide all of his goals and actions for 2010. Excellent post that challenges us to choose our own three words for the year.

An e-book reader supposed to launch in 2010. The software should be pc combatible. Offers features such as highlighting and annotating books, texts will be stored virtually so reader's notations are available anywhere. Will also have read-aloud feature.

"A few literary authors who created illustrations for their works, whether published or unpublished. Though The Hobbit is arguably a book for children (and The Lord of the Rings trilogy even more arguably so), it gets a pass as a classic, and for the rest of this list we've been committed to leaving out children's literature, picture books, and graphic novels - because that's just too easy.

"For us,we offer services that we believe complement each other and provide a range of support for researchers. But,our patrons do not necessarily see it this way. As Anderson also said,"Value that is not valued is not valuable" (p. 289). Obviously,it is on our shoulders to continue to advocate and reinvent libraries to better serve our users. But,frankly,that's what I feel like I've been doing for the last decade."
