You’re Ruining My Life!
March 19, 2009
Poor library cataloguing is never good no matter the situation. Today I went to the library with the giddiness of a boy picking up a muchly anticipated Thor comic volume, written by one of his favorite authors- J. Michael Straczynski. Only to find, once I get back to the comforts of my office, that the title is Thor, but it’s a different storyline and a different author all together!
Whoever barcoded and catalogued this must have thought, “another Thor comic, tag it and bag it”. For Jimmy Crickets-sake the cover isn’t even the same! Now I have to go back to the library blather to the circulation staff, prove how nerdy I am, and wait in hopes that the right title arrives next time. Mishaps like this can make a soul head to Amazon.

That sucks!
PS – It’s Jiminy Cricket, not Jimmy.

Seriously go down there and lay down the nerd law on them, and them show them what’s up when it comes to LIS.

@PML funny thing, this comic is actually quite good! After I read it though, I will go down to the library and in my greatest Stallone impersonation ever will say, “I AM THE LAW!” and then my mis-catalogued item will be fixed and the right item on it’s jolly way to my hold section.
