I am still reading Double Fold, and it has so many fascinating facts about paper. I am still reeling about the fact that the endless supply of Egyptian mummies were imported and stripped of their swaddling to make newspapers! One of the many fascinating facts I've learned thus far in these two classes!
What else I've learned: What a computer "cookie" is. I've always wondered, and now I know that when you visit a website and click on an ad or fill out information, that information is stored on your computer and retrieved the next time you visit that site. That "cookie" is like a little spy collecting information about me. It's a good thing Webroot Spysweeper gets rid of all my cookies!
This week the Hot Topics on Banned Books and Library 2.0 were excellent. Banned Books has always been an interesting library topic--everyone's views are usually so divergent. Library 2.0 is actually a new topic to me, a librarian left-over from card catalog days. Nevertheless, I see that it is necessary to strive to be like the 2.0 model in our own libraries.
