Nina McLaughlin writes \”Here is an article titled \”Library science degree: file that under ‘stupid’\” that I can only hope is a joke. After all, we can take a joke….
But this writer, a UCLA student in Molecular Biology, seems to be serious when saying: \”I don\’t understand why these overzealous school marms need to attend a professional school, and thus be equated with scientists, doctors and lawyers. I don\’t even think you need a GED to successfully put books on shelves. Hell, a properly trained monkey with a fancy hat could probably do that.\” The article, in the \”Viewpoint\” (i.e. Opinion) section of the UCLA Daily Bruin goes on to say \”Library science? Science? There is not a single scientific thing about library science. Putting on a silly puppet show for kids doesn\’t exactly merit a Nobel Prize.\” I kept re-reading it, hoping it was some sort of a satire that I just wasn\’t getting….
But I think they REALLY feel this way. Arrrggghhh!
