'''''The Library of Babel''''' is a short story by Argentine author and librarin Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986), conceiving of a universe in the form of a vast library containing all possible combinations of alphanumeric text. A splinterfan group has created a prototype of the idea at [[http://libraryofbabel.info libraryofbabel.info]].

Borges' narrator describes how his universe consists of an enormous expanse of adjacent hexagonal rooms, each of which contains the bare necessities for human survival—and four walls of bookshelves. Though the order and content of the books is random and apparently completely meaningless, the inhabitants believe that the books contain every possible ordering of just 25 basic characters (22 letters, the period, the comma, and the space). Though the vast majority of the books in this universe are pure gibberish, the library also must contain, somewhere, every coherent book ever written, or that might ever be written, and every possible permutation or slightly erroneous version of every one of those books. The narrator notes that the library must contain all useful information, including predictions of the future, biographies of any person, and translations of every book in all languages. Conversely, for many of the texts some language could be devised that would make it readable with any of a vast number of different contents.

Despite—indeed, because of—this glut of information, all books are totally useless to the reader, leaving the librarians in a state of suicidal despair. This leads some librarians to superstitions and cult-like behaviours, such as the "Purifiers", who arbitrarily destroy books they deem nonsense as they scour through the library seeking the "Crimson Hexagon" and its illustrated, magical books. Others believe that since all books exist in the library, somewhere one of the books must be a perfect index of the library's contents; some even believe that a messianic figure known as the "Man of the Book" has read it, and they travel through the library seeking him.

The story repeats the theme of Borges' 1939 essay "The Total Library" ("La biblioteca total"), which in turn acknowledges the earlier development of this theme by Kurd Lasswitz in his 1901 story "The Universal Library" ("Die Universalbibliothek"):

:Certain examples that Aristotle attributes to Democritus and Leucippus clearly prefigure it, but its belated inventor is Gustav Theodor Fechner, and its first exponent, Kurd Lasswitz. [...] In his book The Race with the Tortoise (Berlin, 1919), Dr Theodor Wolff suggests that it is a derivation from, or a parody of, Ramón Llull's thinking machine [...T]he elements of his game are the universal orthographic symbols, not the words of a language [...] Lasswitz arrives at twenty-five symbols (twenty-two letters, the space, the period, the comma), whose recombinations and repetitions encompass everything possible to express in all languages. The totality of such variations would form a Total Library of astronomical size. Lasswitz urges mankind to construct that inhuman library, which chance would organize and which would eliminate intelligence. (Wolff's The Race with the Tortoise expounds the execution and the dimensions of that impossible enterprise.)

How To Book a table in McConnell Engineering

To book a table, a group needs to come to the EUS Office and fill out a form with the EUS Administrative manager. Bookings are limited to one per group per month, and one person can only represent one group at a time. There are three tables in the McConnell lobby. There is only one savory sale allowed per day ( usually samosas), one sweet sale, and one informational table. The group is responsible for tidying up the kiosk after using it, and that means leaving it in good clean order. All signage at the event must obey the McGill poster policy. Masking tape must b eused to put up any and all information posters. The Food and Health Regulations of The City of Montreal must be obeyed especially with reference to Regulation #93 (warm or cold food items containing meat or dairy and the time between their production and their being sold for consumption). Details of regulations are available in the EUS Office. The right to use the kiosk is conditional and can be revoked at any time. Groups that do not show up or do not cancel their booking in advance on two occasions will have their booking rights revoked.

External Groups

Table bookings for the month open up for external groups on the 15th of the previous month at 9am. For example, bookings for November open on October 15th. If the 15th is not a business day then the table bookings will begin on the first business day after this.

EUS Groups

Table bookings for EUS groups open on the 14th of every month - one day before opening for external groups. If the 14th is not a business day then table bookings will begin on the business before the 14th.
