SHUSH: A conservative librarian's blog

I know librarians in Oklahoma are all over the field politically and philosophically so here's a blog for the conservative librarians out there. Even if you don't think of yourself as a conservative SHUSH has some really good discussion points that should interest everyone. And if you like SHUSH you may want to also check out Conservatorblog

From the SHUSH About page:
About SHUSH: "SHUSH (S*) is a fairly recent creation although the concept has been percolating for some time. What exactly S* is will be determined by time, energy, and resources. Right now it is one person, myself.
The goal of S* is the following:
'To provide a conservative home for librarians as well as critical thinking on library issues of the day and to begin serious discussion on the nature of The Library and Its future.'
For now S* is a blog but S* the organization is there waiting if interests take hold.
Current stands that S* has taken include Pro-Patriot Act, Pro-CIPA, Anti-MLS/Pro-BS, and anti-privacy-of-minors. There are many changes going on in libraries and many issues to discuss. As S* exists now it would be impossible to respond to even a fraction of them but as interest grows I do hope to provide at least a forum for discussion on many of them."
