Here's something to cheer you up on a Friday afternoon: an academic in a research-led university waxing lyrical about libraries and librarians:
"Libraries, the Princeton Campus's Unknown Repository of Sexiness"
A professor trumpets the sensual and visceral experience of actually visiting a library. (The Daily Princetonian)

There is a bit of sterotyping mentioned in passing and I sincerely hope that this doesn't result in a Friday afternoon flurry of emails on the topic.....
