Tales is okay as a back-catalogue substitute for new fans, and is an unavoidable purchase for fanatics, but really it's just a barely adequate hits package.
Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection is neither a traditional greatest hits collection, or a collection of fan favorites.
On the whole Tales of a Librarian may have taken too many liberties with the balance of songs that Ears with Feet have been listening to obsessedly for years, and its newly produced songs are not even on par with the excellent web-only extra tracks from Scarlet's Walk.

 Tori Amos : Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection (CD & DVD)(Atlantic) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Tales of a Librarian: A Tori Amos Collection is not only one of the most intriguing titles for a hits compilation, but the package itself captures only the best from Amos' years spent with Atlantic.
As solid, interesting, and moving as anything she'd released since her 1992 debut, Little Earthquakes, Tales of a Librarian is an autobiographical account of Amos' life as a woman in a complex world, and her songs sift through various emotions and spirits.
Her usual approach of having a story within a story is here, but like the title suggests, Amos organizes her classic singles as a bookshelf ready for research and examination.

 Tori Amos, Tales of a Librarian
Really, Tales Of A Librarian is the Cliff-Notes version of Amos' decade-long career -- a career that, in addition to being broadly represented on the album, is also depicted bravely and unflinchingly, warts and all.
These two out-of-place tracks are, however, the only missteps on the entire album, and, aside from their erroneous placement, Tales is infused with a general feeling of nostalgia brought about by the passing of an exciting decade now gone, and that sense of melancholy is matched only by Amos' obvious affection for a decade well-spent.
Tales of a Librarian is, overall, a competent and accurate representation of that body of work -- a summary, like the tip of an iceberg hinting at the greatness that lies beyond.

 The Dent: Toriphiles review "Tales Of A Librarian"
With the clear vocal over the texture of the music I feel as if Tori, the librarian, is narrating the song, as if to say, 'this is how it really went before they put the duct tape or effects over her mouth.' It's a way of regaining dignity.
And the irony is, the librarian is Tori Amos.
Tales of a Librarian was supposed to be released on 18 November in Hong Kong, just as in the U.S. However, there was a major delay and I had to wait until recently, on 7 Dec, to get hold of a copy.

A warning to all librarians on the perils of sticky labels… see post from ‘This is Broken‘ blog, via Librarian.net.
They seemed to realise that there was a real problem for their group in getting people interested in the history of libraries and that most librarians and library staff had very little knowledge about the history of the libraries in which they worked and of library history in general.
Julia Waite, CILIP Member and Librarian at the Institute said she was interested in the idea ‘to get people to the right part of the library without using numbers’.

Tori has opened her back catalog to release her first ever compilation entitled Tales of a Librarian on November 18, 2003.

In addition, Tales of a Librarian will include a pair of brand-new songs as well as newly recorded renditions of two ultra-rare B-sides.

 Tori Amos - A Tori Amos Collection - Tales of a Librarian - Atlantic Records - CD/DVD
And like Prince, she has also suffered the fate of having her own sense of whimsy nearly undermine the vision that was once so strongly evident.
Tales Of A Librarian is a collection of songs that, while neither a ‘greatest hits’ nor a ‘best of’, work together to spin the tale of a woman, her upbringing and what she has seen and learned in life.
The collection, for the most part, manages to pay respect to each of her Atlantic albums (she has since signed to Epic) and also introduces 2 new tracks and 2 re-recorded, rare B-sides.

 Tori Amos "Tales of a Librarian"
It feels awfully out of place, it's not as good as the original version, and it just reeks of record company pressure (I mean, there's none of the other tracks from the wave of Tori remixes from circa 1998, BT and all that lot, if she's so keen to showcase that side of her).
To be honest, from here it looks like she's put a lot more thought into the artwork and librarian concept than into the actual music.
The librarian concept is actually the best inlay we'll see all year.

 Slant Magazine - Music Review: Tori Amos: Tales Of A Librarian
ori Amos's Tales Of A Librarian might just be one of the most ambitious greatest hits collections ever made.
The 20 tracks that comprise the album aren't just remastered, they're remixed and, according to the liner notes, "reconditioned" by Tori and her chief engineers Mark Hawley and Marcel van Limbeck.
Overall, though, Librarian is a comprehensive document of Tori's prosperous Atlantic years, inventively cataloged in the Dewey Decimal System we all learned in grade school.

Completely new on Librarian are Angels and Snow Cherries From France, which of course follow the same style as the rearranged B-sides: laid-back, with a small band, something that wouldn't have been out of place on Scarlet's Walk.
At least half of the tracks on Librarian have music videos that are just begging for an official release, and they're some of the best examples of that medium in the past 15 years.
As it is, though, Librarian is a nice chronicle of Tori Amos' career, with some interesting tracks that span the gap between where she's been and where she's going next.

If you don't already own her albums, or want a comprehensive overview of her repertoire, her collection, 'Tales of a Librarian' is a keeper.
Sartorial issues aside, 'Tales of a Librarian' offers enough to gladden the heart of anyone remotely interested in rock as a genre, all handily summarised with the help of the Dewey Decimal System.

 Tori Amos - Tales Of A Librarian : album review
When Tori Amos appeared in the early 1990s with Crucify and the subsequent album Little Earthquakes, she reawakened an interest in the art of the female singer / songwriter.
There are four new songs which demonstrate the same lyrical kookiness and musical attention to detail as her earlier work, although Angels shows signs that married life is beginning to mellow her anger and intensity.
If you plump for the accompanying DVD release of Librarian, you get the excellent Pretty Good Year, a strange omission from the CD, plus Honey and Northern Land - proof that when it comes to making a Tori Amos collection there's an abundance of good songs to choose from.

One particular post that caught my attention was written by a librarian who used to be a bookseller, and she was discussing the various positive influences that the retail service side of her previous job had upon her work as a librarian (see ‘Confessions of a Reformed Bookseller‘).
Walt Crawford released the March edition of his Cites and Insights online journal, in which the main article was a piece discussing the notion of ‘folksonomies’ and whether they should be used in place of tradition cataloguing (OR) or along side (AND).
