Jan. 8 welcomes Rosemary Jaffin, who presents an overview at what enabled Viktor Frankl to survive an experience none of us would want, and what it is that gives meaning to our lives. Consider reading “A Man’s Search for Meaning” (150.195 FRA) and also Rosemary’s book, “Say ‘yes’ to Life for the Sake of God” (616.891 JAF).
Information & the Library
You’ve probably noticed our recent statistics that library usage is up and the number of titles being checked out is up. That comes as no news for staff as we stay very busy responding to the demand.
In a report from the University of California, San Diego, “How Much Information? 2009 Report on American Consumers,” the total information consumed by U.S. households was approximately 3.6 zettabytes of information in 2008. One zettabyte is 1,000,000,000 trillion bytes, and total bytes consumed last year were the equivalent of the information in thick paperback novels stacked seven feet high over the entire United States, including Alaska.
Conference Room Courtesy
If a presentation, tutorial or seminar mentions “pre-registration necessary,” please sign up as soon as you can, and definitely don’t expect openings if you wait until the same day of the offering to sign up.
