“But whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battle’s van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man.”

“I’ve been asked to give some words of advice for young women entering library/information science education. Does anyone ever take advice? The advice we give is usually what we would do or would have done if we had the chance, and the advice that’s taken, if ever, is often what we wanted to hear in the first place.”
—Phyllis Dain (b. 1930)
