Again.
I was seeking help downloading (their) ebooks to my new Nook at the reference desk. Not much help there, a nice printed guide, but it turns out you need to first download to a (Desktop?) computer and then load them in the device. One of my comments about the (lack) of electronic interconnection, I have a Digital New York Times (NYT) Subscription (So I can sit at home and read it....), but this is separate(?) from the Nook, i.e., I would need a second (digital) subscription to read it on the Nook.
Then the Reference Librarian said something negative about the contents to be found in the NYT. OK, she is probably not a "real" reference librarian (no MLS), but still. And then this patron (I am familiar with from another context) standing behind her chimed in and seconded her negative comment. I am familiar with the Patron from his tendency to set the "homepage" of other public access computers to the Drudge Report.
