Awful Library Books

Setting Up & Using Your Own Ham Shack
Cebik
1981

They left off “your mother’s basement” from the list of places you could set up a ham shack (first sentence, first image below).  Seriously, though, this is a reasonable subject for the community college library that owned it, but it needs to be updated.  Surely the specs have changed for power and modern ham equipment (is there modern ham equipment??).

These old books make people think the library is old fashioned, even when the subject is still relevant.  We have to keep our collections up to date!  (This is the ALB equivalent of “watch the screen,” which has come up in every library staff meeting I’ve ever attended.)
