did it's job.  As Freddie Mercury so rightly said, sometimes you just

I sincerely hope this doesn’t offend anyone, but back in 1992/3, I was
very involved in the UB student ALA chapter and was a rep in the
University Grad Students Union for my department. I was a natural
programmer it turned out. I had a blast inviting speakers and arranging
library tours, etal. My most famous, and still remembered, program, was
with the legendary Sandy Berman (http://www.sanfordberman.org/), talking
about his impassioned battles with LC’s cataloguing department, to make
classifications more user-friendly. The name of that progam? 

  

“For Fucking, See Librarian.” I advertised the hell out of it. The bulk
of those who comprised the sold-out “show” never even knew UB had a

supportive and caring professors * with slightly bent senses of humor.
What a terrific memory!!!

For their visit, we created a slide-tape production about a field trip
we voluntarily took to Chicago over spring break that year, visiting
various libraries, including some reading and study centers in the

was friends with one of our professors. We selected music for the show,
including "Our house is very very fine house, with two cats in the

by all of us, including the faculty. They used it to show off for a few
years. We were accredited and never looked back. I think we promoted
ourselves as professional but with a good sense of humor and did not
take ourselves too seriously. I still try to do that.

Goofballs? I know many of the library school students who appear in this video 
contribute much to the UW Libraries. They answer reference questions, process 
collections, and--perhaps most importantly--infuse the Libraries with 
enthusiasm and new ideas. GaGa's not in my playlist, but creativity is always 
on my radar. 

And probably no one knows better than they do that the "woods are burning." 
Many students are graduating with mounds of debt and at time when professional 
jobs are scarce. I'd rather see them channel what must be some anxiety about 
the future into a catalog-centric GaGa parody than sometime curmudgeonly.
