WAR DOGS OF SOCHI posted:uh...i've been to many a library conference and depending on the crowd, they tend to be a bunch of librarians pissing and moaning about how to get the respect they deserve and to prove their worth to the world. ala is better than most but still ain't nobody talkin' about archiving at these things and internet privacy to a librarian means putting a polarized screen on the desktops so that their patrons can continue to watch rape porn in the childrens room I'm a librarian for real and this is a stupidly bad post

ate all the Oreos posted:serious post: other than putting books back and organizing stuff and otherwise managing a library what do you actually, like, do, i'm sure it's more than that but i've never really been clear there's many kinds of libraries and many kinds of librarians. there's def the front-facing access/public services kind which is the traditional role and the stereotype. I'd say modern librarianship (and leaning more towards the academic library side) is more about the study of information; the linking of disparate data sources; the sharing of information; and the presentation of it all. but all in all it's a service oriented job; we help people find the information they are looking for. for instance a lot of my job is studying how we can remove barriers both in information access and user interfaces. and there's definitely a heavy IT side of things and user privacy is one of the most important aspects of the job. for instance librarians were the ones fighting the FBI on unwarranted access to patron records and there's a lot of advocacy on privacy issues relating to technology. *gets off soapbox*

WAR DOGS OF SOCHI posted:Nah, I nailed it. If you feel you have to vocally defend your profession's worth, you aren't doing a very good job at your profession. And librarians get stupidly defensive about their careers to the point of obsession. All you have to do is say the triggering phrase Why do we need libraries when we have Google? to invoke Threat Level Midnight. I was going to respond in earnest but I sense this is a troll
