Due to rushing to work at 7.45 to make sure l managed a parking place
l was just able to catch the report but unable to mail a response.
 
Why, oh why, does the media think that librarians only work in public libraries?
Never have l heard on any TV programme that there may be law librarians, health librarians, agricultural librarian and l am sure in some top fashion house there is a fashion librarian.
Me thinks we have ourselves to blame for our low profile and lack of publicity on how we contribute to the various organisations we work for.

We won't change people's ideas of us until we all unite in wanting to.

Hands up all who are wearing cardigans...

Seriously, this debate has been going on for the twenty years that I've been in the profession.  When are we actually going to do something about it?
