Half a dollar seems not all that much too ask for too
much of the stuff. Presumably a smaller quantity
would carry a proportionately higher price ( how many
things can you say that about ? ), if indeed we're talking
here not about real information but -- as is typical in the
discourse of librarianship -- about potential information.
Or is it the other way around ?

Subject: [NGC4LIB] Information overload (comic strip)
For some reason this "Ziggy" comic strip tickled my funnybone:

I think it's partly because no one would consciously ask for "too much information", let alone pay for it. But "too much information" is what people often get when they use Web search engines.
It also reminded me that people don't regularly rely on library data to get the information that they need...something we on NGC4LIB frequently talk about.
