Ground level research

Ground-level research

I have to applaud Thomas Mann's "Research at Risk" (LJ 7/05, p. 38–40) and encourage everyone to give copies of it to ground-level librarians. Less is more, not better, in the case of online topic research. Yes, more comprehensive subject indexes are what all researchers need. But, instead of using the high-speed and at times sophisticated search engine Google, ground-level librarians are required to give credence to the rich meaning of subject headings. Less is most definitely more! Good instances of this are where you find a book by notes or citations in the MARC record. Keyword searches in Google can't do this. Friendly search engines and powerful aggregators return mined information but fail to provide inside knowledge from the catalogers and bibliographers who built the "collection." Balancing web, print, and online subject databases delivers results to collaborative research and productive indexing as long as we use our minds in the process.

Sara Gruen's H20 for Elephants

Water for Elephants Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Saving the circus from utter failure is up to a tough circus owner, the roughabouts and one veterinarian, Jacob Jankowski. The owner is August and his star is now a 500 pound elephant name Rosie. She needs to learn some manners in communication and so ends a great story for all ages. Jankowski is a keeper in the circus when he leaves the nursing home upon his son's last visit. Charles looks for his dad, but Jacob has left for the deal of a lifetime@circus....
Sara Gruen will be in Onondaga County at the Civic Center next June.
