One of my first duties was to go through a bankers box of yellowed, crumbling newspaper clippings that some librarian in the distant past had annotated in a crabbed, copperplate hand. Why she thought these were pertinent escapes me to this day. But she held on to them like they were made of gold. I wished I had met this predecessor so I could as her what she found so invaluable in an article about hairnets! Did somebody ask her a question about the proper way to wear one?
I only know that in the last 11 years, nobody has once asked me about hairnets! Or snoods, for that matter. ;-)
But I bet I could find it on Google in less than half the time it would have taken me to sort through that file box!
