To: Sony Barari regarding your recent opinion on the need for a library science program or the need for librarians: 1. Thank you for the disclaimer at the beginning of your article, stating that you are a D student. This will preclude your entrance into the Library Science graduate program. (This is no small relief to us) 2. Your disinterest in actually researching the program before you comment on it is apparently consistent with the rest of your academic career. When I was in college, a study concluded that students could pull a C in most courses without doing the research required. Admittedly a D student, you have helped to prove that the "dumbing down" theory has merit. 3. Is your life as a developmental biogology geek so lame that you would actually see the library as an appropriate place to create "hoopla and merrymaking"? Most people lose this notion once they are paroled from high school and attain legal drinking age. 4. It will further offend your sensitivities when I share the fact that my own library science degree actually was granted through the School of Engineering at the university I attended. Gives one pause, doesn't it? 5. However, I would expect nothing less from a person whose parents saw fit to name him after electronics equipment. PS. If you ever want to see your undergraduate degree or send any transcipts to a potential employer, it would behoove you to make sure your books are returned and your fines are paid. We can be a vindictive bunch of zealots. "In theory, there isn't any difference between theory and practice.
