Cute Overload! probably beats all library blogs for traffic and links, probably even The Shifted Librarian at 3.5 million page views a month. What does this say about us a a highly evolved species? What does it say about me that I am--and probably Karen too--among those millions of visitors? How can IAG even hope for traffic like this?
Well, posting a cute animal picture can't hurt.

Who's a pretty puddy!!! See how that worked?
Looks like work-related research to me. Didn't OCLC feature a poster of librarians' cats a few years ago?
Seriously, if all you were reading was related to your work, I'd suggest a long vacation.
PS I'm a librarian, but Blogger hosts my personal blog and so that's my "identity" for comments on other Blogger blogs.
It's so white! Ah, is that why he's called Casper? :)
Wrenaissance Woman, you are correct that we had a cat poster several years ago. Did the cats belong to librarians? I've forgotten! But it was made to promote the OCLC cataloguing service for low acquisitions libraries--CatExpress--and was very popular.
Ivan, that's exactly why Casper was so named. But also because he appeared on October 31, Halloween, up a tree at my house, waiting to be rescued. He was about 6 weeks old and was probably dumped off because we had a barn.
Karen, do you think if libraries started animal shelters as a side endeavour, they'd get better funding?
