Marilyn Johnson
“A library is a place to go for a reality check, a bracing dose of literature, or a "true reflection of our history," whether it's a brick-and-mortar building constructed a century ago or a fanciful arrangement of computer codes. The librarian is the organizer, the animating spirit behind it, and the navigator. Her job is to create order out of the confusion of the past, even as she enables us to blast into the future.”
Marilyn Johnson, This Book Is Overdue!: How Librarians and Cybrarians Can Save Us All

“People do not just use information that is easy to find; they even use information that they know to be of poor quality and less reliable, so long as it requires little effort to find, rather than using information they know to be of high quality and reliable, though harder to find.”
Marcia Bates
