Resource for you...

http://www.libraryhistorybuff.org/catalog-cards.htm

...but I had to use the card catalog!

You've probably never even seen one, but they were large wooden boxes with lots of little wooden boxes each with a funny handle and a knob that lined the entrance to every library.  Yes, they're called "card catalogs" and they were used to find books--another fast-disappearing phenomenon of learning.

Today, no worries, we have the internet.  And seemingly, anything worth knowing (and a whole lot that's not worth knowing for many!! reasons) is on line.  In fact, this blog is on-line.  In case you were wondering, it's one of the things worth knowing!  :)

Not to toot my own horn, but I've found a cool site that I wanted to share: iBioMagazine.org.  In the sites own words, it "offers a collection of very short talks that highlight the human side of research."

My personal fav right now is the story of Dr. Erich Jarvis entitled:  Song and Dance.  You'll love the non-linear story of a once dancer now scientist who explores brain function.

Click then browse and post your favorite short talk below!
