New on shelves: Cool Librarians
By BILL MARVEL / The Dallas Morning News
Once upon a time the librarian was the fierce Guardian of the Books. Finger ever lifted to shush the patron who dared make a sound in her library, gray hair knotted in a bun, she glowered at us through owlish, horn-rimmed glasses. Think of Marian, the prim and proper librarian in The Music Man.
Librarians would like you to know that Marian's days are numbered. Her place being taken by a new kind – or new kinds – of librarian.

Officials of the National Archives and Records Administration and other agencies reached no consensus at last week's FedWeb 2002 conference at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md.

By Michelle Delio

The man in charge of archiving and maintaining electronic copies of Norway's most important historical documents is dead and so is access to those archives.
So the director of the Norwegian cultural center is pleading for hackers to help him crack the center's password-protected database.

State History, Archive Directors Step Down
BY CHRISTOPHER SMITH and DAN HARRIE
Gov. Mike Leavitt's administration has edged out the long-time directors of the state divisions of history and archives in a restructuring move.
Officials insist the resignations of Max Evans, director of the Utah Historical Society and state Division of History, and state Archives Director Jeffery Johnson are unrelated to an aborted proposal to evict a popular cafe from the state-owned Rio Grande Depot and use the space to house archives.
