The medicine chest of the soul (inscription at the Library of Thebes)

Have you heard the talk about Google digitizing the Harvard library? It's not just Harvard. Also included are Oxford University in England, Stanford University, University of Michigan and the New York Public Library. Read Fred "zAmboni" Locklear's report over at ArsTechnica. Interesting about the time involved. Big project doesn't even begin to describe this grand idea.

While on the subject, have you been to your local library lately? We are proud to have a really forward thinking, progressive library system here in northeast Mississippi. Lee-Itawamba Library System has a wonderful site and great facilities. Computers exist for patrons to use and their IT/IS department is top notch. Visit a nice informative site, put it in your favorites or bookmarks, then go by and take a look. Get in touch with your Mississippi Senator or Representative and tell them about these neat fountains of knowledge.
