LM_NET: Library Media Networking
Here's what I just mailed off to bridges.com:
I'm sorry you got so much flack from librarians about the "Slack Job of =
the Week" on librarians. I just read the cached article via google. I'm =
a librarian and I actually liked the article. Though it does not give a =
fully accurate view of the job, much of it was true, and I felt like it =
would encourage young people to enter the profession. I'm sorry they no =
longer have easy access to the article. Perhaps you could do more =
research, get a more complete and accurate picture, and write a new one. =
If you do, it would be best to distinguish between school librarians, =
public librarians, library clerks, library technicians, etc, etc. There's =
a world of difference. For example, earning a Masters in Library and =
Information Science to work in a public or special library and earning a =
teaching credential and a library services credential to work with =
students as a "teacher-librarian," are totally different ball games. I =
know. I've played them both.
