A lot of white people (disclaimer: I'm white) think in extremely individualist ways about a host of issues. They do not seem willing or capable of thinking at the level of the system/society/culture. They pat themselves on

It takes a lot of courage to say what Linus said today. Especially in this current climate and in the face of some of the comments I'm seeing here and elsewhere. Respect.

Look for library science textboks from before ~1996. We used Organizing Knowledge, 2nd ed., by Jennifer Rowley for my intro to LIS back in the day. I wish I could remember the name of the text for my reference class. Ask any reference li
