The new librarians - A Hipper Crowd of Shushers

Blogs > Social Sciences and Humanities Library Blog

Banishing our worries about the greying of the library profession, and breaking down stereotypes of old "shushing" grumpy librarians, this article from the New York Times looks at the new breed of librarians - fun and funky, technology-loving, artistic and people powered. Do we at UQ fit the bill - what do you think?

Loved the article. It is interesting to see how libraries can impact on people's lives as well the various reasons people become librarians. And we all know it is not to sit around reading books all day.
