This is a list of potential slogans to put on our class t-shirts last semester – provided by classmates, other students, faculty, staff, alumni, library joke sites and more. Some are pretty obvious, some are in-jokes that only our class would get. I've put the winning choice in bold and her personal favourite in italic.
- 020.7 (This is Dewey for “Library & Information Science — Education”)
- Embrace Your Inner (Book) Nerd
- I Learned More in 3 Hours at the Grad Club Than 3 Semesters at Library School
- I Went To FIMS (And All I Got Was This Lousy T-shirt)
- I'm Part of the Librarian Hegemony
- Less Powerpoint, More Charisma
- Librarians Have Nice Buns
- Librarian In Search of A Metaphor
- Library School 101: Shhhh!
- Library School: Like Being Pelted With Popcorn
- Maximum Access to Information
- My Fate Is In The Hands of FIMS
- Photocopier Expert
- Putting the rarin' in Librarian since Jan 2006
- Semester One = Anxiety, Semester Two = Anger, Semester Three = Apathy
- Spider Web Tattoo = Prison Gang Symbol and/or Bad Library School Metaphor
- “That's what the books say but what's it like in real life?”
- We're All Fools For Rules
- What *Is* Information? (or “…And I Still Don't Know What Information Is”)
Which one would you vote for?
2006-10-06 Update:
Rob Craig, who teaches LIS645 and is a former Student Council Chair, passed along a couple t-shirt slogan ideas from his time at what was then known as SLIS:
- Dewey or Don't we?
- Major SLIS Tool (“back in our day” – man that sounds like I'm old, the SLIS network had a link to all of the electronic databases called “Major SLIS Tools”).

I personally enjoy, Library School: Like Being Pelted With Popcorn and Putting the rarin' in Librarian since Jan 2006, although in my case, it would be May 2006.
Although, I was thinking something Informational might be nice, to help the public and library students alike:
YES, you DO need a Masters to become a Librarian.
Good one. Or how about “MLIS = MBA without the attitude”?
They all blow.
You should use “Ac ekusa abze fisoba.”
Means “You should be our victim” in Ro, the artificial language that Dewey supported.

Oh pants.
I meant “a priori constructed” language, you hardliner.
