Libraries, it seems, are also turning into competitive environments; this is particularly true at my school.
Sometimes, it is not enough to “shhhhhhh” the student patrons. So (tongue in cheek) I have decided to establish a goon squad for both my library and lab, together these constitute what is called the learning resources center.
These goons could be summoned at a moments notice, and would absolutely “thrash” the student competition, then follow-up by making a few choice “unfortunates” to spend their entire day researching obscure topics on EBSCO.
Yeh, I kinda like that! A goon squad for all occasions 🙂

Make sure you film their activities so you can scare future potential offenders straight with the video.

that’s right…that will reduce my “goon” squad payroll – gotta stay within library budgets 🙂
