I only wish I had your paper before me when I wrote Silicon Snake Oil--Clifford Stoll. Ultimately, says Earl Lee, libraries are involved in the quest for truth, but conceptualize it in a way very different from most. Library professionals pursue a philosophy of inclusion, trying to have as many versions of Truth as possible, in the hopes that somewhere in the mass of material, something meaningful may be found by some discerning reader. But in recent years the mass of data has grown to bury truth and defeat the discerning. Librarians have lost sight of what is important. The uncontrollable mass of data, the transformation of the library to an information center, the demise of the card catalog, the meretriciousness of publishers offerings, the dumbing down of textbooks, the decision by the Library of Congress to use the OCLC online system exclusively--these are all the subjects of thought-provoking and unsweetened opinions, welcome reminders of the rich tradition of intellectual freedom in the profession.

(This highly literate vampire novel is based on Bram Stoke...)
This highly literate vampire novel is based on Bram Stoker's Dracula, but it's far more than a simple retelling of Stoker's tale. The primary narrator is The Count himself, but the :notebooks" and "diaries" of the other characters give the narrative a Kaleidoscope-like quality, revealing one aspect of the story after another. While the horror elements are prominent, psychological elements prevail in this chilling yet fascinating tale. Of particular interest to those familiar with Stoker's novel will be the revelations of what The Count kept in his cellars and why he kept it there.
