I think we could get away with SFX or something like that, understanding that SFX isn't used much in the majority of our libraries (yesterday I observed how it simply got in the way of a good search by presenting boxes with dead ends...). Getting library-anything on that list would be useful, only in the sense that it's a list trumpeted here and there.

As in, books. It was rather sweet, really, as if someone had listed "the shoulders of giants."

It was rather sweet, really, as if someone had listed “the shoulders of giants.”

Free texts for every taste from Right to Left, from contemporary to retro. [http://demo.openlibrary.org/] Doesn't everybody like "free" stuff, especially when it can help with that term paper you need to turn in tomorrow! What about the Open Library?

In an era of virtual everything, we can provide a place where people can swim in that ocean with actual physical people around. Group-study and group-play areas. Food and drink? Sure! Games? You bet. Friendly and savvy help on tap. Library as cyber cafe: build it, and they will come. I wonder if X isn’t the library space itself.
