POPSCodex Sinaiticus While it is fabulous to be able to get news in a second and wonderful to view online albums of photos from friends, one of the best parts of the Internet and its functionality is getting access to materials to which ordinary people would never have access. The project to digitize the Codex Sinaiticus has been several years in the making and it is finally coming online this week. While most people won’t be able to read the ancient text, having access and being able to puzzle over the words yourself without an intermediary provides the opportunity to translate the Bible yourself and make your own interpretation.

POPSLibrarians in the Movies for NLW I have been thinking about marking a shelf on Goodreads for books with librarians in them, but haven't gotten around to it. As National Library Week debuts this month, Entertainment Weekly has come out with a great photo gallery of scenes in libraries from the movies. Ghostbusters and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade are included.

POPSBe Nice to your Librarian If you are willing to concede that someone can do your job as well as you then you are justified in this behaviour. If not, then don't start.

POPSFor the Love of Libraries First, I really like this blog. It is written by a librarian and is interesting and intelligent. Second, I love the library themed wedding invitations. Different and very clever.
