Favorite Humorous Library Quotes

"Th' first thing to have in a libry is a shelf. Fr'm time to time this can be decorated with lithrachure. But th' shelf is th' main thing." Finley Peter Dunne
"The Librarian was, of course, very much in favour of reading in general, but readers in particular got on his nerves...He liked people who loved and respected books, and the best way to do that, in the Librarian's opinion, was to leave them on the shelves where Nature intended them to be." Terry Pratchett

Rollyo

What a great idea--what a neat concept--what a disappointment! The promise is such an exciting tease and then the results are so very disappointing! You create a search engine for a topic--dutifully copying and pasting URLs--but when you use your search engine the screen is cluttered with other things, and, perhaps I just didn't do it correctly, you are not directed to the websites' homepage but who knows what! Big thumbs down!! Bottom line--worthless, waste of time.

I agree! I thought Rollyo was a good idea, but in reality it sort of underwhelmed me. I'm glad I learned about it, but probably would never use it.

That said, I really "whizzed through" the Rollyo and Bloglines section. I feel like I barely even remember them and I only did them about three weeks ago! (Shame on me!) After I finish the 23 Things, I'm going to go back and reexamine some of the products. There's got to be a reason people like these things, right?
