I thought the following was too funny to not be blogged about — while visiting the RIT library to pick up a couple XML books for the previously mentioned XML project, I came across the following:

OK folks, Sesame Street time. Hum along with me — “Which one of these things is not like the other….” I didn’t know that Jamie Oliver, the famed Naked Chef, was an XML expert and that Happy Days with the Naked Chef was a seminal work in the field. What makes the entire thing more funny is that the somewhat blurry, lower picture demonstrates, this book wasn’t misfiled. According to its ID information, it’s in exactly the right spot.

I leave it up to you, gentle reader, to decide what this might say about the RIT Library’s filing system.

   QA is definately supposed to be maths. The Lib of Congress places Happy Days solidly in the TX (home economics) range.

   My guess is some under-caffinated library worker shoved the wrong sticker on it.

   Thanks for the official library science perspective! How are things?

   Things are pretty decent. I have a decent gig working for James Heckman and I’m (eventually) going to graduate.
