Indiana Jones, Sex and the City, and Libraries?
In the new Indiana Jones movie, the titular hero tells his students to “get out of the library”. A humbug on you, Dr. Jones! I looked you up in Scopus and nobody cites your work. I cross-referenced the journals you’ve published in in Ulrich’s and none of them are peer reviewed… or indexed! I’ve pulled up their impact factors in Web of Science and their scores are the pits!
Sarah Jessica Parker’s library-related advice to Sex and the City/Carrie Bradshaw devotees? It’s quite a bit more practical. Find it in this video at 2:44:
Sage words, madame; I salute you. Special thanks to Siobhan and Jeff for the heads-up.

Well, far be it for me to try to top Carrie Bradshaw, but here is what Annie Dillard has to say about libraries (from her book The Writing Life):
“You have enough experience by the time you’re five years old. What you need is the library. What you have to learn is the best of what is being thought and said. If you had a choice between spending a summer in Nepal and spending a summer in the library, go to the library.”
You know, she’s probably right.
