librarianmouse ([info]librarianmouse) wrote in [info]otf_wank,
See, the trouble is that a lot of my library school classmates had never worked in a library, or even spent much time in a library since high school. So every now and again, they'd say something (usually about how libraries are quiet, tranquil places and all the people who go there are nice, classy and well educated) that would make the rest of us go "Wait. What?"

I had a colleague tell me a few months ago about her library school students refusing to read certain books for course assignments and saying they'd never carry them in "their" libraries. It was one of the most bewildering things I'd heard. It made me really glad that my program required you to take Ethics and study the library bill of rights within the first year of study.
