		<description><![CDATA[As many people may have heard, Sarah Palin&#8217;s Tuesday release of Going Rogue lacked an index.  Thankfully, Slate has created the Unauthorized Index of Sarah Palin&#8217;s Autobiography: Going Rogue.  It includes gems like:

		<title>Required Reading</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a terribly excitable person, but when I see good thing, I get a bit squirrely. Library Love Fest recently put up a post about a book coming out in February: This Book is Overdue! How Librarians and Cybrarians can save us all. Appropriately, I was sitting at the reference desk when I read [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2150&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A library student&#8217;s first conference: CLA ‘09</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Conferences. You hear a lot about them in library school, and as you delve deeper into the library world, you find they are kind of a big deal to librarians. Just like in any industry, library conferences are loved up by librarians for the opportunities they afford to exchange ideas, let loose a little, and, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2152&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Public Library Technology or &#8220;It Just Won&#8217;t Turn On&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After a long, grumpy, whiny period of underemployment, I was offered a position as a technology librarian at a busy public library south of Boston. I was, and still am, thrilled.  The library is  beautiful, it is part of an active library system with lots of opportunities to develop professionally, and I get a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2136&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Go the distance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Annoyed Librarian recently wrote a piece as a response to a piece from American Libraries about the increase in distance education programs for MLIS programs&#8211; this is a response to both.
Her main gripe was the fact that, ALA continues to promote the idea that a person can get an MLIS and then actually get a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2098&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The most evil man in the world&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;lives in suburban Chicago.  I read this article, and physically recoiled at the horrible things Constantine Xinos has to say about a small library branch:
&#8220;Those who come up here with tears in their eyes talking about the library, put your money where your mouth is,&#8221; Xinos shot back. He told Sydney and others who spoke [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2067&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Librarienne Seal of Approval!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another thing they never teach you in library school is how to dress for the job of librarian.  We can all picture the stereotypical librarian, and I&#8217;m sure most of us would like to avoid becoming a stereotype at all costs.  The problem is, at least in this case, the stereotypes really do fit the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2027&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Evil Socialist Agenda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Menace of the Public Option&#8211;public library that is.
For far too long, this menace has undermined the very foundations of our economy. While companies like Amazon and Barnes &#38; Noble struggle valiantly each day to sell books, these communistic cabals known as libraries undercut the hard work of good corporate citizens by letting people read [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=closedstacks.wordpress.com&blog=2216618&post=2042&subd=closedstacks&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
