The place was the University of Stockholm where I performed some legal research over a couple of days for an article. I found it difficult to navigate the library in my search for the law books (incidentally, language was not the barrier) and found that the reference librarians were not as knowledgeable about the legal resources as I would have hoped. I may have just been there on a bad weekend, so to speak. But I don't think I would be the first to recognize the value of librarians that specialize in our discipline. I would be interested to hear about anyone else's experience with integrated libraries.

This might be a bit of a nitpick, but does “sub rasa” have a meaning not clear to the generally educated layman, or was it a confounding of “sub rosa” and “tabula rasa“?
