On the Great Myth of the Librarian Grays

On the Great Myth of the Librarian Grays
And so, in closing, yes, the cake is a lie. The profession may be graying, but gray doesn’t mean dead or retiring. There has been published work decrying this myth out for the better part of a decade or two, and older librarians remember being fed the same hogwash in the 70s. This does not mean you should be pushing your leaders down stairs in the hopes you’ll get their jobs. It does mean that you need to drink a great big glass of suck-it-up-atine, work extra hard at the job hunt (you know who I’m talking about – I am STILL seeing Comic Sans, clip art, and crappy cover letters, people), and developing skills needed in places other than libraries.
