When Does One Become A Librarian?

August 6th, 2006

A cute and quite truthful post from A Librarian’s Guide to Etiquette:

“Contrary to what some naive and enthusiastic recent library school graduates might think, one does not actually become a librarian until one gets a job as a librarian. When you graduate from library school, you are not a librarian with a job as a custodian. You are a custodian with a library degree.”

Great stuff in the comments as well. I still think we need to re-think the whole, “Who is a Librarian” thing, but I’ve been asked to drop it, so consider it dropped.
