"If Paralibrary Sciences is not already an academic subject ensconced in some institution, then it would have to be invented. Paralibrary phenomena is far from common, perhaps even less so than the occurrence of self-alleged psychics, and I would conjecture that less than one percent of the population has ever encountered it. The problem is that, unlike other paranormal phenomena and its study, there is no standard for measuring paralibrary phenomena, no version of Zener cards to test the claims and evaluate the evidence, no eminent C. D. Broad style thinker conducting intensive research on the subject."
