:eek:
Perfect Stephen King reference!
OK, what is the AACR? I’m sure I’d enjoy this far more if I knew what you’re talking about.
AACR (or AACR2R) = Anglo American Cataloging Rules (2nd revision).
I found it rather boring during my first semester here in library school. 
AACR is indeed boring beyond belief, but necessary if you want to be able to find anything at the library.
Sort of like a lot of rules and regulations out there. Reading the United States Annotated Statutes is also not a big thrill, but having the statutes in place makes society run more smoothly.
IIRC, I think they use the British-style “Cataloguing” spelling in the title.
Lsura: which library school are you at? I attended the University of Michigan what was then called the School of Information and Library Studies from 1989-1990. It is now just the School of Information.
I am a full time librarian/faculty member at the University of Michigan Flint campus and a part timer at the Flint Public Library. Both in Flint, Michigan, where famed political writer/movie maker Michael Moore is originally from.
I’m at the University of Tennessee: we’re officially called the School of Information Science.
After about 7 years as an internal auditor, I decided to go where my heart was and came back to grad school. It’s been an adventure, to say the least.
(and as much as I disliked the AACR when we had to read sections of it, I know that it’s absolutely necessary - it really did provide some framework for me)
There has got to be a corny joke in there somewhere. “How many librarians does it take to lift a bronzed set of LC Subject headings with spikes mounted on it, all five volumes connected with a chain?” “Lift it? You have got to be kidding!”
By the way, did anyone else immediately think of Librarian Avengers?
Good old Rocky Top, eh? One of my uncles is a law school professor at a school in Michigan, and back in the mid-90s he did a sabbatical at UT. He got tickets to the football game against Florida and I went to it.
By the way, my Wolverines owe the Vols a butt kicking for the bowl game two seasons ago. I am kind of hoping that Michigan and Tennessee end up playing for the national championship this season. That would make the revenge really sweet!
UT also has quite the women’s basketball team. I have become a major fan of women’s hoops lately, and am hoping that Michigan will be as good as Tennessee some day.
Looks like the motive might be something along the lines of “crazy person thinks he stops the United Nations/Trilateral Commission/Androgynous Martians from driving their tanks down the road the wrong way by destroying their secret battle plans.”
Let me get this straight . . . the guy torches the UGA library, causing at least $1.5 million in damages, and then asks to be represented by the UGA Legal Aid and Defender Clinic.
I think we have a new defining example of chutzpah.
Or idiocy–either one works by me. 
I love Athens. I tried to transfer to UGA but I can’t afford it.
I was upset that the library got torched.
God, I miss Athens.
Hell, I’m upset that any library got torched. I’m not a librarian, but I can do things to him with standard household items that may make him reconsider his approach to literacy. God, what a Beavis.
He must be a fan of Ray Bradbury.
