Librarian Humor: Boolean Connectors

2012-02-10T10:11:00.009-05:00

This is the first installment of a new segment called Librarian Humor, it will include videos, photos, annedotes and anything else funny related to a Librarian's world. Librarian Humor - others just don't seem to get it!

The following video was sent across to me from a friend and fellow Librarian. It is a funny video of a lesson done by a librarian on Boolean connectors. The use of food and her great accent make for an entertaining video.

If I was doing this lesson it would be Strawberry Jelly AND (Chunky Peanut Butter OR Creamy Peanut Butter).

Feel free to submit your Library Humor, to be included in future posts, to Jessica Schnall at jessicadschnall@gmail.com
