"Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear.  They
could catalog you.  Librarians wield unfathomable power.  With a flip of
the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and
Stream magazines.  They can find data for your term paper that you never
knew existed...Librarians rule." --Erica Olsen
