Threads of Conversation at ALA

Michael Stevens' post Libraries and Technology: Threads of Conversation at ALA is both entertaining and enlightning. My favorite part is:

'Stephen Abram touched on this as we had breakfast and made a brilliant point about cataloging: "Who else in the WORLD cares that a book a user wants is 17cm in size? Not the user...they just want the book!"'

No there's one to tiwst the collective knickers of catalogers all over the world.
