Every year, Library Journal names a group of innovative librarians as “Movers and Shakers.” M&S is a popular feature for a good reason: the profiles of M&S librarians are thought-provoking and inspiring. M&S ends up as something of a snapshot of what the library profession finds innovative and worth of notice, and there is no question that the Movers and Shakers are people to watch.
But at the Library Society of the World, we can’t help but wonder about everyone else in libraryland. While the Movers and Shakers are moving and shaking, what are the rest of us doing? Standing still? Surely not.
So we have come up with our own award that we see as a complement to M&S. Introducing Library Society of the World’s Shovers and Makers. ( http://shoversandmakers.net)
And there is only one way to become a Shover and Maker: declare yourself one.
great name
but as Woody Allen said, I’d never join a club that would allow a person like me to become a member.
that’s a great quote, but I don’t think it applies here…
didn’t he say that because he had been previously denied membership because he’s Jewish.. and then when he got superfamous, they offered the membership and he sent that as a reply.
actually…
he was repeating a great line of Grouchos’, and although we are all three Jewish, I am nowhere near as funny as those two. I don’t think there was any implication of anti-Semitism in the statement.
yeah Groucho… didn’t even notice that mistake
but I saw a one-man show on Groucho and the actor had a scene with Groucho talking about the Jewish ban and then he says the famous line, …so until I verify the origin on the God, Wikipedia, I’ll continue to think it meant “no Jews allowed.”
