More or Less Personal
by Ray McConnell
THE GENTLE APPROACH: In The Grapevine, publication of the Pasadena Public Library Staff Association, Margaret Meyer reports that the subject heading in the catalog of a library (not here) read: "SEX, see librarian." When this caused comment, it was changed to read: "SEX, for SEX ask at desk." [...]
L. B. Woods, "For Sex: See Librarian." Library Journal, vol. 103, issue 15 (1 Sept. 1978), p. 1561.
The title of this article was found on a catalog card entry in a library in Washington. It indicates the lengths to which some librarians will go to increase circulation; or couched in educational lingo, to what lengths they will go to make the library relevant to the needs of a changing society.
If you are of the "old school," you might interpret the entry correctly to mean that access to materials dealing with sex is restricted. [...]
Martha Cornog and Timothy Perper, "For Sex, See Librarian: An Introduction." In Martha Cornog, ed., Libraries, Erotica, and Pornography (Phoenix, AZ: The Oryx Press, 1991), p. 5.
In another cartoon, published in Playboy, a voluptuous young woman behind the circulation desk is approached by an eager young man who ventures, "Under 'Sex,' the card catalog says, 'See Librarian' " (Doug Sneyd, October, 1982, p. 105).
