Previous LibGig Interviews:

Peter Derycz of ReprintsDesk
"When somebody wants copyrighted material, we place the order, receive the order, and figure out the best way to get it to them."

Barbara Hirsh of NERA
"We serve a major purpose in organizations and it is a challenge to make sure the world, and in particular, the executive levels of companies, gets the complexities of our business."

Maxine Bleiweis of Westport Public Library
"To paraphrase someone, I’m not sure who, libraries used to look like grocery stores, now they look like kitchens."

Loriene Roy of ALA
"Many people have ideas for you but only a few are willing to step up and really help. Keep those people happy!"

Stephen Foley of iCyte.com
"We see iCyte's application as being broad; any industry where users are researching on the internet should be able to benefit from having more structure around their information."

Alex Bloomingdale of Enotes.com
"One day we hope to create a version of eNotes which is available to libraries, but for now we are focusing on the consumer side. We do feel that librarians and libraries will down the road be an important component of the site."

Catherine McMillen of Top Trumps USA
"Many of the Top Trumps titles available are on topics that can easily be researched at a library… from Sharks to Skyscrapers to Sports… you name it!"

Karen Coombs of Library Web Chic
"I’ve written and spoken about library web design issues, but also about things like privacy, authentication and authorization, federated search, blogging, etc. For me this diversity is what I like best about my job."

Linda Mehr of The Margaret Herrick Library
Among the major manuscript collections are those from such directors as George Stevens, John Huston, Alfred Hitchcock, George Cukor, Sam Peckinpah and Hal Ashby.

The group of 29 caves was constructed by Buddhist monks and the paintings and sculptures on the cave walls portray stories from the Jataka tales. read more »

Some flooring company’s try to justify their higher prices by selling a customer on the great warranty a carpet manufacture offers. Flooring sales reps tell a customer a carpet is warranted for 20 years to build value in a customer’s mind to justify the high price they are being given. Don’t fall for it!!! A carpet warranty is next to impossible to have enacted. read more »

Do not pay a disposal fee if you’re buying new carpet ever! Do you want to know why? Of course you do. Flooring companies charge a disposal fee for carpet and pocket it as straight profit. Carpeting installers get paid .07 cents per pound to recycle old carpet and old padding; yes even if the carpet is full of pet stains and smells bad. read more »

Customers and flooring companies lose on this one about half the time. A customer will buy a certain type of padding from a flooring company that they want installed with their new carpet. The flooring company then takes the customer’s order and provides the correct ordered padding with new carpet to their contracted carpet installer. read more »

Once you figure out how much carpet you need you need to ask the manufacture of the carpet or the carpet sales rep how many yards or linear feet are in the role of carpet you are buying. Most 12 foot wide rolls of carpet are 150 feet long so 12’x150’ or 1800SF per roll. read more »
