�Librarian's DesH continued
it must to cope with the nature of a
dynamic society—dead languages
reflect dead cultures. The way our
language is evolving, what we are
soon going to have is a cross
between Victor Borge and the brutal
language in Anthony Burgess’s book
about a ruthless, soul-less future, A
Clockwork Orange.
Here is a tiny sampling of the
non-words that are commonplace in
our new non-language: go to the
mat, input, surf—which is both a
computer and sports cliche,
risktaker—who is always rewarded,
cyber-anything, paradigm,
sidemantle, interactive, stake
holder—who was someone in the
Boy Scouts who helped put up your
pup tent, outsource, and the feared
outplace, ecosystem, access,
gatekeeper—who is good at getting
money in but never letting it out,
enable, empower, supercomputer,
virtual reality, cheese food—
whatever that is, learning curve—
which I always seem to be behind,
parameters, interface, share,
enriching, network, downsize—the
dreaded catch-word of the 90’s,
advocacy, quality time, information
superhighway which we all surf. Oh,
these words and the sentences they
bloat—they’re just so, so meaningful.
I use what I call the Kentucky
Colonel test when I read jargon and
drivel--if I can insert the phrase Ken
tucky Colonel in place of the catch
phrase and the sentence still makes
sense, you’re in trouble.
What I hear and see falls into about
four general categories: the increasing
use of non-words, the horrible mispro
nunciation you hear on television, the
overuse of cliches, and finally—maybe
the worst—the worthless habit of turning
nouns into verbs.Throw in the computerisms and sports terms that have crept
into daily usage and you find a language
that is losing the power of expression.
What is it we want from language? First
and foremost the language must be of
specificity to avoid ambiguity (yet not
mimic German). But we crave and
demand more; there must be beauty—
even grandeur from our language The
English language has always been
renowned for its power, beauty, and
expressiveness—it has the potential to
stir our souls—the most lyrical and
descriptive language on earth.
We have always welcomed words
from other languages, because they
often express an emotion or feeling
better than old stale words. Terms like
bungalow and badminton from India
have become staples of the English
language. I would suggest that up to
now our language has followed a
natural transformation to make words
more effective or expressive. The word

pollution now prevalent is not that
kind of transformation—instead of
making words more effective, the
drive is to make words more
accessible. Accessible language
panders to the lowest instincts, not
the most noble, to produce a
meaningless choreography of banal
words. Maybe the use of non
language is directly proportional to
our efforts when we try to simplify an
increasingly complex world, or when
we just shirk our duty to think.
Language is probably the most
perfect barometer we have for a
society; it reflects exactly and totally
who we are and what we think. Our
language has begun to emulate our
domestic architecture—no front
porch, but elaborately enclosed
backyards. Maybe our language is a
perfect metaphor for today; it reveals
all that we are willing or able to
reveal about ourselves. I would like
to think otherwise; but words speak
louder than hopes and words are
definitely losing as we surf our way
out into the mainstream of the
information superhighway. What will
the permanent barometer of our
language record about us?

orty years ago in November, right after
Ike's 1952 election, my Dad put up our
Christmas tree. He was sure that my
oldest brother, fighting far away in Korea,
would be home soon and wanted the tree
there to greet him.
That tree stayed up until June of 1953. There
were so many expectations like that in
1952—with a new and trusted president
coming into office—we thought everything
was possible. Taking my tree down this
year, I was struck by those
wThen, as now, memories and the contrast to
^
look forward today—how times change.

Forty years ago that tree my Dad put up
symbolized my family's desire for peace
and tranquillity. We lived at the end of an
18 mile dirt road and you could see those
lights in our window for miles across the
snow as we came home at night. We all
wanted our favorite brother home safe,
away from deadly harm and death he faced
every day. He saw the Pusan Perimeter,
Yalu River and the frozen Chosin, and we
knew exactly what that meant. Seeing "his"
tree every day gave us great comfort.
I remember that winter of hopefulness very
clearly—and how our optimism never
faded, even as the tree shriveled. That tree
became an unsspoken magic in our house—
we wouldn't take it down because it was
somehow protecting my brother. So many
neighbors and friends had sons, who were
wounded or killed, we worried eve

me the world he came back to has never been
the same. Then, as now, we look forward
optimistically to a new president to heal
serious problems—but one who faces much
sterner challenges, with a less firm footing
than Ike did.
Today we hold the same wish with the same
optimism for everyone's brother and sister. So
many of them face deadly peril everyday.
With the end of forty-five years of
superpower rivalry and confrontation we
The two books I am recommending this
month are Truman by David McCullough and
Iron Fist by Jeffrey Rodengen—two books
about the great American dream of rising from
humble beginnings to success and greatness. I
cannot imagine two biographies more different
in style and content. Truman, the underrated
underdoe, has somehow managed to become
everybody's (including Bush and Clinton)
favorite president today. Iron Fist perfectly
describes Carl Kiekhafer, the hard driving
brilliant, engineer and founder of Mercury
Marine.

at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield. IL 60015
Winter 1989
Vol. 4. No. 1
Welcome!
New Head Of Reference
I would like to take this opportunity, my
first column as library director, to give a
heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people
who took time to speak, call, or write to
congratulate me on my promotion. After
so many years of public service in what I
thought was anonymity, your response has
been overwhelming to me. It is so seldom
that librarians get the praise and recogni
tion you have extended. This promotion is
now more than just a promotion, rather
something very personal and rewarding to
me.
Thank you all, so very much, for your
kindness.
My goals for the next three years are re
latively simple ones: Collection develop
ment to more closely match your needs
|nd desires, staff training to insure a conrinued high level of service, and a program
of public relations to make sure all of you
are aware of all of our materials, prog
rams, and service.
We have engaged a nationally known
library planner to help us regain some of
the charm our library has lost with the ad
dition of all the new technology, mate
rials, and books. We are as concerned as
you are about our library’s future.

Administrative Librarian
Tax Time
The Deerfield Library will be a
site for Volunteer Income Tax As
sistance this winter. There is no
charge for the service co-sponsored
by the IRS and the American As
sociation of Retired Persons. No ap
pointment is necessary for the ser
vice available in the upstairs meet
ing room, Tuesdays and Fridays
from l-4p.m. February 3 - April 14.
Please bring last year’s return.
Income tax forms are available at
the reference desk, but librarians are
not qualified to offer lax assistance.
Peggy McCabe at the Bibliofile Catalog
Bibliofile Catalog Has
Personal Touch
Deerfield now has additional computer
catalogs, the ‘‘Friendly Biblioftles
which personify technology; they are be
coming popular with users.
The library’s old card catalogs went on
line, on computer, two years ago. The old
card catalog files were gradually phased
out and removed from public service areas
in December, 1988. Deerfield Library
shares the online system, the Joint Compu
ter Program for Libraries (JCPL) with
Skokie, Morton Grove and Waukegan.
JCPL, headquartered at the Skokie Lib
rary, runs a GEAC Computer Corp. 8000
system.
Presently the three Bibliofile CD-ROM
catalog workstations are located in Refer
ence and Young People’s Departments.
Bibliofile contains the same author, title,
and subject information found in the lib
rary’s JCPL GEAC online catalog. Dub
bed “The Intelligent Catalog” it is faster,
smarter, easier to understand, prints off
line at no charge and can talk and offer
friendly instruction! Best of all, the Bibliofile, a “home grown product” is free
standing (no telephone lines) and if the lib
rary’s other computers linked to the JCPL
Skokie office are down, the Bibliofile still
works as a back-up!
Bibliofile operates on a CD-ROM drive
controlled by a hard disk which gives it a
higher level of access programming. It
does not have the Circulation capacity that
the other computers have; it gives a book’s
location, but not whether it is in the library
or on loan. It is programmed and derived
from our regular catalog database, how
ever.
The Bibliofile stand alone system does
clarify searching on online catalogs. Try
it, you'll like it!
Judith Hortin has been appointed Head
of Reference at Deerfield Public Library.
This position was formerly held by Jack
Hicks who is now library director.
With five years experience as head of
reference in public libraries in Manhattan,
Kansas and Joliet, Illinois, Judy returns to
her native Chicago. She has also worked in
special libraries in Manhattan and Chicago
and was in System Reference at Bur Oak
Library System. Before becoming a libra
rian, she was a teacher for the Chicago
Public Schools.
Now a Mt. Prospect resident, Judy said,
“I have always cared about public lib
raries and providing information. It’s hard
to fill Jack’s shoes as I have always re
spected his work. I am looking forward to
meeting and working with the Deerfield
community.”
Judy holds a BA in English from the
University of Wisconsin and a Masters in
Library Science from Rosary College. She
enjoys reading and, regarding other per
sonal information, tells us she is a direct
descendent of Benedict Arnold!

Local Author
Credits Librarians
The Deerfield Library recently received
the book, “The Reverse Effect: How Vita
mins and Minerals Promote Health and
Cause Disease’’, a 1,200 page volume
written by Walter Heiby, who is probably
Deerfield’s most active library user.
In his book, Heiby credits the Deerfield
reference librarians with finding many of
the world-record number of references
(4821) that support the facts and theories
of his highly praised and controversial
book.
Heiby, who has published poems and a
philosophy book, considers himself a
generalist whose intellectual curiosity was
whetted by his parents. Currently, he conducts literature research seminars in nutri-^^
tion, medicine and dentistry at the Univer-^^
sity of Illinois under the auspices of the
Glencoe based Nutrition for Optimal
Health Assn.

"The pen is mightier than the sword.
Can you identify these three famous
quotations ? Not only will Bartlett’s Famil
iar Quotations tell you that they are from
William Shakespeare, John Donne, and
Edward Bulwer-Lytton, but it will also
give an exact source right down to act,
scene, and line whenever possible.
Students, writers, speakers - at some
point almost everyone has to track down
an elusive quotation, and Bartlett’s is a
good starting point for such a search. Even
if you recall only a few words of a famous
line, its handy keyword index lets you
identify a source and verify the exact
wording. The main part of the book is ar
ranged by author or source quoted.

Keep VCR Clean
The Deefield Library now owns approx
imately 1500 video tapes for home view
ing (at $1 each for three days). To assure
their best use, it is important to remember
to keep the VCR equipment free from dirt
and other materials which “eat” the tape
or rpnder the picture snowy, the music
muddy. The library’s Technical Services^^
department suggests preventative mea-^B
sures, such as frequent cleaning of video^^
heads (at the heart of the machine) to re
move harmful dirt from oxide particle
buildup. This will keep the library’s tapes
in good order for your viewing enjoyment.
