Since David Weinberger might just recognize the condition and since these library photos make me want to, I thought I'd translate the Lost Book Syndrome joke:
The state of depression you find yourself in after a longish search for a particularly rare fact on the internets - when you realize that the best book on that subject is on a bookshelf at home, forgotten because of its uncool lack of digitality.Posted by Claus at September 15, 2006 03:59 PM | TrackBack (0)
Exactly the state I found myself in at the Coll. Domus Regiae when someone borrowed the central book on Life Mode Analisis from my CDR-shelves, just because his girlfriend's father was the one who took the picture on the cover.
Posted by: Jakob on September 15, 2006 5:18 PMUhm, no - I'm not talking about books that are *really* lost Jakob.
Posted by: Claus on September 15, 2006 5:19 PMThe library photos are amazing!
I have fits of LBS quite often, especially with mathematics where it can be hard to find anything profound on the internets and a 75-page book can tell you more than you ever wanted to know about almost everything.
The problem is of course that you never carry your books around, they are somewhere in the back of your closet.
Posted by: Jan Erik on September 15, 2006 10:12 PMOh. Jeg m? p? pilgrimsrejse til de biblioteker. Der er ikke noget som duften af st?vede b?ger. P?n?r m?ske duften af jomfruelige paperbacks.
(Beklager den manglende respekt for sprogvalg. Det er s?ndag)

Rundstyk med vanille - jeg owner helt og aldeles min interesse i owne (ovenfor ikke slang, men "to own your mistakes")
Jeg har bestilt bogen, den ser for l?kker ud. Hvis du ikke plejer at komme der kan jeg kun anbefale at du bes?ger det kongelige bibliotek i Fiolstr?de der er fyldt med bogmystik og bog?nd.

Posted by: Claus on September 17, 2006 2:34 PMMen man m? jo ikke komme ind til det allerhelligste, man m? bare st? udenfor og trykke n?sen flad mod en glasrude - eller forveksler jeg det nu med Diamantens old skool-appendiks?
Hm.
Must have library.
Posted by: emme on September 17, 2006 2:46 PMJeg mener Universitetsbiblioteket i Fiolstr?de - der er adgang. Det med det kongelige var en historisk stavefejl.
Posted by: Claus on September 17, 2006 2:47 PMTak for tippet, du, det er bare alletiders.
Posted by: emme on September 17, 2006 2:51 PMIkke nogen fejl overhovedet, Claus. De to enheder, Kgl. Bib. og Kbh. Uni Bib. er nu sl?et sammen med en f?lles direkt?r, som jeg har sorteret under et halvt ?rs tid. Festlig fyr, kan godt li' drikkeviser.
