[Peter Morville]

Rich Wiggins (http://richardwiggins.com/) spotted an interesting
recruiting poster in the hallways of Michigan State University recently:

---excerpt from Rich's email---

Yesterday in the hallway at the MSU Computer Center I saw dutifully
tacked up on the bulletin board one of those posters urging people to
consider a graduate program at another school.

This one was from the School of Library and Information Science at
Indiana University.

The headline pitch?  In huge type:

       BECOME AN
       INFORMATION
       ARCHITECT

Not "become a librarian."  Not "become an information scientist." This
did not appear to be a pitch for an IA specialty; it was an ad for
library school.

I'll take a picture if you'd like.
