St. Jerome Goes E!

The St. Jerome Tattler was published weekly by me for about a decade. It was a pre email communication device to let the staff of the Agriculture Library know what had happened and what was going to happen in the next week. This publication was done on a word processor, printed out on a dot matrix printer on paper with pin feed holes, and circulated to the staff. It must have been given reading priority because it made its way back to me by mid week. All of these "Tattlers" were collected and put in a binder and last I saw them they were on a book case in the AIC. The paper has probably disintegrated by now.

St. Jerome lived from approximately 347 AD to September 30, 420 AD. He translated the Bible from the Greek and Hebrew texts into Latin which was the common language of the time. He is credited with perserving our Biblical heritage. St. Jerome is also designated as the patron saint of librarians in the Book of the Saints.

This e -Tattler is intended as an informal communication tool and place to have some fun. I would like to think that St. Jerome had a sense of humor (I am not sure he did though) and will look favorably on this blog.
