Why you should fall to your knees and worship a librarian


 <http://www.strangersinparadise.com/> look it up.Ok, sure. We've all got
our little preconceived notions about who librarians are and what they do. 

Many people think of librarians as diminutive civil servants, scuttling
about "Sssh-ing" people and stamping things. Well, think again buster.

Librarians have degrees. They go to graduate school for Information Science
and become masters of data systems and human/computer interaction.
Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog's ear. They could
catalog you.

Librarians wield unfathomable power. With a flip of the wrist they can hide
your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines. They can
find data for your term paper that you never knew existed. They may even
point you toward new and appropriate subject headings.

People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends
beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians
are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom
and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge.
Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says
otherwise.
