Libraries Do Gaga

In a video called Libraries Do Gaga, the University of Washington Information School gives some tips for finding information. They've gone Gaga, tying their own lyrics to recent pop music. For example, they sing:

Look, your naive searching just ain't gonna get it done,
'Cause when it comes to search, if it's not tough it isn't fun (fun).

My favorite part is the sliding shelf between 3:24 and 3:29. Don't skip to it; wait for it.

Karen remarks:

<karenrustad_> I don't understand why library school people are always hot.
<<karenrustad_> Like, seriously.

Two questions

A few weeks ago, I was listening to an R.E.M. album. All I knew about the song I was hearing was that R.E.M. recorded it, and I liked hearing it.

Raffi's ears perked up. He asked, "Is this R.E.M. covering the Velvet Underground?"

I asked, "Is that true? I didn't know that."

Now Raffi knows what I knew, and I know what he knew.
