Librarians on Wikipedia
Learn all about librarians.
A librarian is an information professional trained in library and information science, which is the organization and management of information services or materials for those with information needs. Typically, librarians work in a public or college library, an elementary or secondary school media center, a library within a business or company, or another information-provision agency. Some librarians are independent entrepreneurs working as information specialists, catalogers, indexers and other professional, specialized capacities. Librarians may be categorized as a public, school, correctional, special, independent or academic librarian.

Just tried to post but it didn't go through :( anyway i was just saying that I've used Shelfari before and found it really useful to discuss books with others, or get first-hand reviews of books I haven't read already. The other thing I was saying is to bookmark Infloox.com cos it's like a literary search engine online and should be a great tool for fellow librarians and/or English lit teachers.

I've been to Shelfari before and agree that it's a really good social networking link to exchange and discuss book info. Also bookmark Infloox.com; it's a literary search engine and should be pretty helpful for other librarians and/or english lit teachers.

I am looking into becoming a school librarian, don't like the ideal of having to teach in a classroom for 2 years though.That means a year or two getting certified in addition to library science program.

Nice lens. Librarians are necessary. I wish more people would utilize them. I love the Internet but I still occasionally go to the library.
