The Infotainers, who operated at a variety of conferences between 1980 and
1990, sang many library-related songs, including "The foggy foggy Dewey",
"The CD ROM song", "there's no business like info business", "I want to be a
telecommuter", "dem phones", "the archivist's song", "the song of the VINITI
worker" and many others which still bring tears to the eyes of those who
performed them.
