I do AGREE with your email. I too am proud to be a librarian rather
than a
Knowledge Manager, library facilitator or whatever. The users don't
understand these trendy nomenclatures anyway.

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.
