Lunar "Lyberry"
The perfect library/archive may be just above you, on the Moon. Scientists propose storing data on the Moon because of the benefits. "There is no oxygen to erode the material, constant sub-freezing temperature and the Moon is currently free of all of the havoc wreaked by humankind." Do they need any catalogers on the Moon? The commute would be a bitch, but the gravity-free workplace would be so much fun.

With apologies to Sting (and when do you ever get to type that?):
Information needs are met
Working on the moon
Paper jam? Don't you fret
Working on the moon
Thank you - y'all are beautiful!
The lingering question for civilians would have to be: is the moon far away enough to complete the marginalization of lyberries? I hear Pluto, for instance, isn't being used for anything any more. Just saying...
Well, I say if "they" don't want information, fine, I'm happy to keep it all to myself in the cold recesses of space.
Heh.
"Hi...um, I was looking in the catalog and I need this book but it says Lunar Remote Storage. I was wondering what that was and how long it would take to get here? Oh, it's on the moon and would not be available until 2008. Yeah, but my paper's due next week."
Just one of the many dialogs that's bound to pop up...oh, it will happy.
By the power of Xenu, I have the power!!

Just read the article (you're right, it was on Library Link...why did it take so long to get to me?). "Hollow lava tubes" and "lunar soil" sounds like a comic book. Spiderman Archives on the Moon: What will Mary Jane think?
