Should you become a librarian?

The Daily What calls this their “Flowchart of the Day.” I call it oversimplified. Unfortunately, it’s a too-accurate presentation of what the public thinks librarians might be. Frankly, I’ve been impressed by some of the front-line duty that librarians are pulling in defense of civil liberties, privacy, and information access.

At least two librarians are semi-regular readers of this blog. I thank them for their services.*

(*and, honestly, I appreciate them more than soldiers.)
