The Quintessential Searcher
The Wit & Wisdom of Barbara Quint
Edited by Marylaine Block
Many, many moons ago, pinned down by a lynch mob
of vendor representatives all shouting "Troublemaker! Troublemaker!," I
squealed out my standard excuse, "I don't look for trouble.
Trouble looks for me!" But what still amazes me is how diligently
it finds me.
—Barbara Quint
Searcher magazine editor Barbara Quint (bq) is not only
one of the world's most famous online searchers, but the most
creative and controversial writer, editor, and speaker to emerge
from the information industry in the last two decades. bq is
a guru of librarians and database professionals the world over,
and,
as her readers, publishers, and "quarry" know, when it comes to barbed wit she
is in a class by herself. Whether she's chastising database providers about unacceptable
fees, interfaces, and updates; recounting the ills visited on the world by computer
makers; or inspiring her readers to achieve greatness; her voice is consistently
original and compelling. In this book, for the first time anywhere, hundreds
of bq's most memorable, insightful, and politically incorrect quotations have
been gathered for the enjoyment of her many fans.
