finding relevance in the library
http://findingrelevanceinthelibrary.blogspot.…
as i brouse through the stacks of the Chicago Public Library i find things that advance my general program of learning. sometimes it is new information. sometimes it is a clarification to something i already knew. sometimes it is important material in a field i have been active in. this blog is a collection of these results, with full documentation of book titles, etc. and library of congress call letters.
