"I'm Feeling Lucky, Librarian"

Jesse Walker has a post on open stacks, closed stacks, and "serendipity" here. Great line:

Asking a librarian to fetch a book for you is like hitting the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button.

And, since we're talking serendipity here, I discovered The Annoyed Librarian -- "possibly the most successful, respected, and desirable librarian of her generation" -- yesterday, courtesy of Charles Hill.
