Oh CRAP—made a mistake in the website

I got a chuckle out of this—a library guide with a easy acronym CRAAP, spelled CRAP in the heading.  However, in browsing the video I thought the instructions read like a translation. “The CRAAP test is an method . . .,” “Are there citations and sources for information present?”  “. . .is the site domain make sense.” Nouns were randomly capitalized.   There are other videos in this series.  I’m afraid to look. Except I did.  The video on the “information cycle” almost made me hyperventilate. It seems to be the “news” cycle, not information cycle.

10 million documents on tobacco

50,000,000+ pages. Give or take a few. Hurry before California melts down and look at its Legacy Tobacco Documents Library. I was a librarian, I've seen it all, but this is awesome.

I found it through Library 2.0, LibGuides of Babson College Horn Library, which has 248 guides, and the ones I looked at (about 6 or so) were all current within the month. The geology librarian at OSU had heard about LibGuides which has almost 18,000 guides at the CIC geoscience Librarians meeting.

Today I was following a pick-up truck with some construction materials in the bed. It had a bumper sticker that read, "Librarian, the original search engine." Must have bought it used, because he didn't look like any librarians I know.
