Thursday, February 14, 2008 According to U.S. News, librarianship is one of the hot careers in 2008. I'm always a little confused when my occupation makes these sorts of lists, but I am happy to see that I am apparently in the "smart speciality" subset. Some interesting bits about public access to information: OpenCongress shows you what's happening in real time, the Public Library of Law (PLOL) is open for business; and journalists are debating Wikipedia as a valid source. Tomorrow: lots of links from others! Jinnet @ 2/14/2008 : comments: 2 Comments: 2 11:54 AM    Anonymous: "According to U.S. News, librarianship is one of the hot careers in 2008." That must be why a library director with 7 years experience has a better chance finding a virgin in Latonia than a job.... *insert bitter face* :) 12:49 PM    Cassandra: Oh, librarianship is hot, alright. Hot meaning stifling, uncomfortable, suffocating, smothering, scalding, blistering hot. Post a Comment
