I think this is true, someone who works in a library knows what is involved in all areas of life by reading and seeing all the materials that she has in her collection. She knows where and what to search for when comes to doing research and that stuff with all the resources that she knows. She knows all the different subject areas to look for. That is what she does in her every day job so she has all the knowledge that she can share and assist even to the most academic person.

>>someone who works in a library knows what is involved in all areas of life by reading and seeing all the materials that she has in her collection.
