The Stupid-Questions Answer People
Nina Platt [Platt Consulting, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA] has some good observations on how librarians are experts at answering “stupid” questions. Yes, we all know that there are no “stupid” questions—but some boggle the mind. She refers to a great article by the Snark, humor columnist for the Fulton County [Atlanta, Georgia, USA] Daily Report on what new summer law associates need to know. While you’re there, read some of Platt’s other musings—she’s good reading.
