Serendipity Without Stacks

I too remember the phrase "serendipity of the stacks", and on those occasions I browsed through a library I would experience it (that's how I discovered Nicholas Rescher)(but generally I kept my library visits goal-oriented and brief, because the dust on all the untouched books gave me headaches). But like Chloe Horning, whose "focus is on providing space and technology to promote collaboration," I agree that "from that collaboration, intellectual serendipity can surely arise." There are many routes to Serendip. I like to think OLDaily is one for many people.
