more wonderful librarians, happy day Eli!
Eli informs me that in addition to this being Earth Day, it is also International Special Librarians Day. Apparently, this holiday is 13 years old.
more positive roles for lady librarians
Macho Librarians With Guns a special subset of the toungue in cheek role playing game Macho Women With Guns.
“These ladies might have gone on to be typical Macho Women were it not for one distinguishing attribute: Intelligence. Operating under the joint authority of the National Library Association and U.S. Special Operations Command, these gun-toting librarians lead a never ending fight to promote literacy, recover overdue materials, and oppose censorship.” [thanks daniel]

You are a librarian. Reload, reload reload. OK!
ranganathan
I talked a bit about Ranganathan in my talk(s) and was pleased that so many people knew what I was talking about. I like him, his laws are sound. I forgot that “Karen Elliot had mentioned him in her classic essay “What I Really Learned in Library School”
If you can’t quote Ranganathan’s five laws of library science verbatim, you suck.
