Say It Right!

Thank God for the school librairans! Finally, someone wants to use the word "Librarian" to describe their field. I'm so tired of people wanting to hide what they do behind "media consultant". ("Media Consultant" always made me think of an extra in the play by Euripides, who consults with "Media" on how to kill her own children in order to hurt her husband)
