  • The Reference Librarian's Nightmare

    Almost everybody who works in a Library knows this.

    [For those who aren't familiar with the geography around New York, Massapequa is a town on Long Island.]

    Kid 1 : I need information about food in Mesopotamia.

    Kid 2 : My whole class has to write about food in Macedonia!

    Kid 3 : Waddya got on food in Massapequa?

    Parent : My kid's got an important soccer game this afternoon She can't get to the Library. I'm here to pick up some books for her. She needs a couple things about food in Mesa or Mace or ... You know what she needs, don't you?

    Reference Librarian : Where is the chipper smiley when you REALLY need it?
    Research is the art of reading what everyone has read and seeing what no one else has seen.
