It was in the Edinburgh Evening News on Monday:
"Strike threat as librarian title changed to 'audience development officer'"

I quite liked the comment that someone has put on the website:
"What do we want? Shh!
When do we want it? Shh!"
(sorry!)

Subject: Is this story true ?
Someone has sent me a link to this story :
http://tiny.cc/66GSF
It's the story about Edinburgh council trying to rename their staff as
'audience development officers'. Is this really the case ? Or just a scare
story that makes for slightly interesting reading ? Do we have any Edinburgh
library staff on the list that feel free to comment ?
