Well, it’s not me. Isn’t there someone of that description around here?
If there is, I’d like to ask her . . .
. . . how ya doin’?

So how does it feel to be a middle aged fat bald guy? I can ask you that, right? 
you dopers are a Trip! I find all of those ask the … parody threads hilarious…
Those “ask the” threads are breeding… and with each generation they get more mundane and pointless.
What next, “Ask the man”? or how about “Ask the human being?”
OK, so I fit two of those criteria. But I ain’t tellin’ you WHICH two. Besides, wouldn’t you rather know about librarianship?
(looks around expectantly)
Well? Internet filtering in libraries? The rising cost of academic journals and the effect on library budgets? Whether librarians should have the title if they don’t have the Masters degree? Whether ALA membership is worth it? What it’s like to work at the 2001 Library of the Year? Censorship or Selection: Which is it?

Well?
Hmmph

Are major periodicals still updated on microfiche, or is it CD-ROM all the way now?
As requested, I am here. I am a brunette with good skin and a DD bra.
Warning: I am also very old.
I’m impressed. Actually, microfilm is still the best - because they know exactly how long it will last - at least 100 years (and then they can make another copy). They don’t know that about CDROM. Remember 5 1/2 discs?
There’re tons of stories out there about transfering records to The Newest Medium only to find 20 years later that you can’t read it. I just heard an archivist tell a story about some census records that were transferred some particular medium (don’t remember which one). Not so many years into the future, they needed that information and found that there were only two machines left in the world that could read the data -one in Japan and one on display at the Smithsonian…

Enough.
