In order to be really good as a librarian, everything counts towards your work, every play you go see, every concert you hear, every trip you take, everything you read, everything you know. I don’t know of another occupation like that. The more you know, the better you’re going to be. – Allen Smith, PhD
Via In Forming Thoughts (which got it from the Bilingual Librarian).

Thank you for sharing this, Bruce! I completely agree.
I find that I can’t help but approach life while considering how information is communicated (or not), and whether it could be improved or if the techniques could be adopted in different sectors. Life is full of newness and unfamiliarity, and every time we as individuals meet these experiences we learn about info use.
No wonder we’re a bunch of bloggers!
