[...] How to Search the Web Image by herzogbr I was weeding our computer books, and came across How to Search the Web, copyright 2000. The list of search engines on the front cover brought back memories – ah, Infoseek. Read more on my website. [...]

Good timing! Only a month ago I weeded our massive – and mostly outdated – computer book section. During the process I ran into such rare gems as “Programming the 386″ (and 486), programming FORTRAN, all kinds of DOS books, Windows 3.1 for Dummies, Wordstar, and generally guides to programs that are 20-30 years old (some of which only work on computers whose displays on have two colors). It quickly became clear that the section had not been weeded for a decade or more. Consequently, our shelves were looking so empty that I felt I had to replenish our computer book collection.

The whole experience was amusing and poignant especially considering that I’ll have to do it again in 4 months. Ah, technology.

@Winnie: Happy Canada Day to you too!

@Davin: That did make me laugh – I never would have guessed she’s been around for 10 years.

@Marcie: good idea, I just submitted it. Although, this one is less awful and more just out of date. I need to remember to send them the awful ones I find.

You should submit this to Awful Library Books (http://awfullibrarybooks.wordpress.com/). It’s a nice reminder that weeding is not a one-time thing; it should be a constant process. Then maybe you won’t find too many of these gems.

I like the banner ad for Britney Spears on the Yahoo homepage. Some things don’t change as much as one might think…
