Quotes:

On The Butcher's Bill:

"What an ASTOUNDING piece of scholarship! I'm absolutely floored by the sheer depth of your work. It must have taken you years to compile.”-Tony Townsend, www.patrickobrian.com

On PC Management:

"The wit, humour and common sense of Michael Schuyler make learning about the pitfalls and potentialities of PC Management a fun experience." (Australian Library Review)

"...readable and full of information gleaned from years of experience." (Information Retrieval and Library Automation)

On The Quest for the Son of Deep Thought:

This RFP (Request for Proposal) for an automated system received some acclaim and has been used as a basis for a graduate level course in systems design at Indiana University.

On Systems Librarian:

"If you don't already know about Michael Schuyler's Systems Librarian and Automation Review, we will remedy the situation. It yokes together (and not by violence) the humane and technological, and is often wickedly funny besides." --GraceAnne DeCandido, Library Journal.

"Schuyler goes on to explain a lot about barcodes and how they work, an entertaining and useful piece of the kind one expects to find in Systems Librarian and Automation Review these days." --Karl Nyren, Editor, LJ Hotline.

"You have produced a publication [Systems Librarian & Automation Review] that is not only timely and well written but also imaginative and genuinely useful in the very important sense that you often focus on matters that are of real concern to us all, but that nobody else takes the time to write about so carefully or candidly." --Dr. Edmund Mignon, Professor, School of Library and information Science, University of Washington, Seattle.

On Computers in Libraries

"His Column [in Computers in Libraries] reads well; about the way I would write, I think, if I were a librarian forced to learn and report on the vagaries of small and medium-sized computers." --Jerry Pournelle, Infoworld

“Your column in CIL is by far the most interesting one in the publication.” –Russell Miller, Simon’s Rock College, Massachusetts.
