If you need something productive-looking to do during a five-minute reference desk lull, try the Smithsonian's Library & Archival Exhibitions on the Web. Peruse such illuminating sites as The Naked Researcher, which "seeks to reveal the researcher within everyone"; or Defining Her Life: Advice Books for Women, which features classic text like Farming for Ladies; Or, a Guide to the Poultry-yard, the Dairy and Piggery.
