[Publib] Precise, Explicit, Green

[Backwage at aol.com]

Somebody asked what I'm working on, but I forgot who, and can't find the  
email in my file.  How's that for an information professional?  At any  rate, 
what I'm doing is writing and research for a labor-management trust.   One part 
of that includes providing content* for our weblog,  presentations, speech 
texts, et cetera. 
 
At any rate, in my work for these folks I've become E-mersed in Green  
building issues.  One finds that the library of the future (and many of the  present 
day) will be built Green, if they're to be built at all.  Here in  Los 
Angeles we're ahead of the curve, of course.  Actually, they're quite a  bit ahead 
in places like Chicago, too, so we can't claim exclusivity.  
 
Here's a weblog I'm putting down by way of advertising these phenomena to  
our members:  _http://pipegreen.blogspot.com_ (http://pipegreen.blogspot.com) .  
It  is a work in progress.  My goal is to try to figure out this whole Green  
building business over the next few months.  If you're interested in  
Greening the library world, drop a note and we'll see what we have in  common.   
 
*As Frederick Turner would have it, "The brain is  hungry not for method but 
for content, especially content which contains  generalizations that are 
powerful, precise, and explicit"
