(I know a little late) I had this whole idea of writing about the National Championship game between Auburn tigers and Oregon ducks last Monday, but alas anything I could say about it really has been said elsewhere. You know, the bowl system vs a play off system, scamming Cam, etc. I will say though, that while Arizona's population increased slightly, there probably weren't as many duck fans because, well, the west coast, especially the lefty coast, just doesn't give a crap about football. And if they do, it in no way comparable to the passion of a southern fan. And indeed the stadium was clearly bought out by Auburn fans, even though ticket sales are halved somehow. I secretly cheered for the ducks because of the schools proximity to Humboldt, but knew that Auburn would eventually win based on all the information I know about college football that I've learned via osmosis. And that's all I have to say about that.

Library cont.
I did visit the main branch of the Nashville library and it is gorgeous. Very classy, I guess because it's so classic. There are lovely marble staircases leading to wide hallways connecting foyers that house special collections, reading rooms, modern computer labs and books. It's tidy spacious and beautifully quiet. Like most libraries today it's mostly automated, but there were librarians and associates at many of the desks I walked by. Even before I decided I might enjoy working in a library I was keenly aware the librarian of the past no longer exists. After reading Johnson's book it's even more apparent that librarians have really become information managers or database engineers. Which is why so many schools have changed their names to information science rather than library science. Degrees are focused mostly around the internet and computer software, as there is no escaping electronics these days. As a result PhD students in freakin Uruguay can access information from a library located in Kentucky. I have more to say about libraries, librarians, and information, but I'm gonna keep it short. Definitely an interesting read, tip of the iceberg, speedy sort of book.
