Reference questions
Today when you go to the library, ask a question. Try to find a librarian, though. I don't think it gives the staff quite the same sense of "ah-ha, a live one" that a librarian (MLS from an accredited institution) experiences. "Where's the rest room?" or "Can you fix the printer?" don't count.I love to read through the questions that bring people to my site. Because I write on so many topics, these robotic spiders scroll around a page and match up some strange words or sentences--like the first name of a mayor's wife with the Latin name of a plant. Not quite up to my road kill or black birds in a pie diseases that I used to get at the Vet Library, but interesting. Since about 9 p.m. last night these are some of the more interesting questions that brought people to my blog. I get anywhere from 120 to 180 hits a day, depending on what I'm writing about. If a big poo-bah blogger links to me, it might spike to 350 for a few days. Sometimes they just glance and move on, sometimes they stay for 30 minutes to an hour.

So, would you argue that the reason that the UAPL as 10 different copies of 3 anti-Obama titles to its 1 copy of 1 anti-McCain title is because no one at UAPL thought McCain would be the candidate?
Did you notice, by the way, that UAPL now has 6 copies of Obama Nation?
I finally got my copy today--7 wks after requesting it. I'll read it promptly and get it back into circ. I haven't checked on the McCain books--are there any?
There are 4 titles out there, maybe more. So, why do you think that UAPL owns so many copies of anti-Obama books when compared to anti-McCain books (by 10 to 1)? You were quick to accuse them of being pro-Obama, maybe now we have to consider the fact that they might be anti-Obama. That UAPL has a conservative bias when it comes to the Obama-McCain election.
Maybe you could write a blog about it since you seem to care. The issue isn't pro- or anti-, it's knowing your community and anticipating needs.
