Tired of a failure to connect the dots? Maybe not, but I suspect you’re tired of the expression “failure to connect the dots.”

In early November 2009 my wife Mary Frances, a professional librarian, and I got an inside tour of the University of Nevada-Reno’s Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center. Our tour guide was Carol Parkhurst, Senior Director, University Libraries.
