The thing is it’s all well and good them making these things explicit but shouldn’t the bookmarks actually be a driver for enquiring, reading or discovering rather than just stating that’s what libraries are there to cater for? Still, I think they’re pretty. Would make a good IA geeks T-shirt.
On the subject of IA DonnaM has a good presentation [with audio] around Lakoff’s Women, Fire and Dangerous Things which is so powerful [but weighty and pretty dry] on ‘categories’ and the way they define our existence. Slide 7 makes me think that the TV programme Family Fortunes is probably Lakoff’s least likely cultural signifier for this sort of categorisation but probably the most obvious.

Not so sure about the arrow for ‘read’ – what’s that meant to mean?
Lord knows. could be representing a metaphorical journey? or a more literal turning of the page?
