Esteemed colleagues,
This has absolutely nothing to do with Koha, but it does have to do with the
Avenging Chicken, libraries, and interlibrary loans. If you're not interested,
please hit the delete key now and accept my apologies for the post.
For people not in the medical library field, a bit of explanation may be in
order. Docline is an interlibrary loan system started by the U.S. National
Library of Medicine, used by medical libraries throughout the U.S. and Canada.
It is an absolutely wonderful system, especially when an article is needed
RIGHT NOW for urgent patient care. When it was started in 1985, its mascot was
Tugger, a dog owned by an NLM employee. Docline was extensively revised around
2019, and he was retired. Many people miss him, and he makes a brief appearance
here.
Several months ago, an earworm insinuated itself into my mind, and the symptoms
became so severe that I was compelled to turn it into a stop-motion video
starring the Avenging Chicken. For those of you not familiar with the 1966
American TV series, look up Batman and the composer Neal Hefti. The video is
here:

and it's part of the Avenging Chicken's YouTube channel:

Usual disclaimer applies: my opinions only, and I have no idea of where this
was filmed.
