I have been asked whether I would like the title Library Manager or Company
Librarian and I chose the later.
It sounds more professional and I have worked hard to get the qualification
and experience to go with the title whereas anybody can be just a Library
Manager regardless whether they have the qualifcation or the knowledge. THAT
is the difference!

Apologies for cross-posting!!!
Hi All
Is the professional title 'Librarian' a little old -fashioned these days?
I'd be interested to know about alternative names for your professional
posts in the serials ( in all formats) library world.
I'm actually quite proud to be a serials and inter-lending librarian - my
work encompasses all sorts of serials - print , electronic , and
inter-library loans and other document delivery.
However I think I'm the only 'librarian' left on the staff here. Everyone
else is an advisor or manager (but this term is reserved for heads of our
library depts which isn't me). We wondering what else might fit the bill.
'Administrator' is one suggestion or how about 'co-ordinator'? I certainly
do a lot of co-ordinating in my job!!!
All suggestions gratefully received but don't all rush at once....
Replies to me PERSONALLY please - if you spare the lists I'll summarise for
you.
Thank you for indulging me.
