I’m sitting in the library at my institution and am very surprised to see people actually looking at books. Most of people are, of course, using the computers or talking on their cell phones, but there is the odd person sitting down and thumbing through the pages of a musty history book or interesting novel. They are apparently researching for class projects. Well, at least I assume they are researching — they may just be trying to look cool in the library. You know, the scholarly type, all looking at books and appearing to get more non-wikipedia type information. Working on the “I get print information” image. It seems retro or even classy, maybe. I guess I should try it, instead of sitting at my MacBook and writing on my blog about it.
*goes off and looks at books*
Hmm….this is a new and novel concept. I must try it sometime.
