"Much as some librarians would like it to be otherwise, the world views the library as a refuge from the world and librarians as unworldly refugees from the actions and passions of our time." in Ideas and the University Library: Essays of an Unorthodox Academic Librarian ~ Eli M. Oboler

    

"The sign SILENCE in any library is an admission that your library is poorly planned, your administration is a failure, and your clientele are captives in a dungeon--kept rather than participants in an educational and fundamentally entertaining enterprise." in Ideas and the University Library: Essays of an Unorthodox Academic Librarian ~ Eli M. Oboler
