Fun stuff from The University of Chicago Library


The other day I ran across a newish blog published and maintained by colleagues at The University of Chicago Library. The blog in question is entitled Maroon Opinions and contains a record of suggestions made by users of the libraries at Chicago. First of all, I think this is a great way to put blogs to use in libraries. Second, though, I found a lot of humor in reading the entries at Maroon Opinions. It’s a bit of a stereotype, but in general, those who work or go to school at Chicago are nothing if not opinionated. It’s one of the things I remember most about working in that environment: the promotion of individual thoughts and opinions and the concomitant need (at times) to be ready to fiercely defend them in debate. Check out this blog; it gives a rare inside view of the relationship between one of the world’s premier academic libraries and the communities it serves.
