Brooke, Thank you for sending the link to this article about Paul Otlet - a remarkable Belgian librarian, archivist, information scientist (1868 -1944). For those interested, there is much on the internet about Monsieur Otlet and his work. The website of the author of this NYTimes article, has photos of the Mundaneum Museum and Paul Otlet's work. Check it out at http://www.alexwright.org/ The museum would love more vivitors, why not call in when next in Mons. Mons, Brussels, Leuven, Antwerp..Great Belgian cities. :-) Cheers, Irma Irma Birchall CALYX information essentials M: 0413 510 717 irma@calyx.net.au www.calyx.net.au <http://www.calyx.net.au/> www.koha.org <http://www.koha.org/> _____ From: koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz [mailto:koha-bounces@lists.katipo.co.nz] On Behalf Of BWS Johnson Sent: 18 June 2008 04: To: koha@lists.katipo.co.nz Subject: [Koha] Nifty Article Salvete! The New York Times ran a cool article here: http://www.nytimes.com/pages/science/index.html entitled "The Web Time Forgot" which lends further credence to my theory that Francophones named Paul are in fact indispensable. (Not, of course, meant to mean that other French speakers are less loved!) It's a good read from a design perspective, and you can kill a couple minutes when the boss isn't looking over yer shoulder. Cheers, Brooke
