Why be a librarian?

Lee Hadden writes:
\” The Winter 2001 issue of Occupational Outlook Quarterly (published as
a government document by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics) has a cover
story about the library profession. Entitled \”Librarians: Information
Experts for an Information Age,\” this 14 page article is available in PDF
format from their homepage at: bls.gov/opub/ooq/ooqhome.htm


This interesting article has information on library job growth
projections, future salaries in the profession (\”More jobs, more money\”),
and some idea of where the field is going. Not only does it ask (and
answer) the question, \”Why be a librarian?\”, the article also suggests what
other things a graduate can do with a library degree. A good recruiting
tool.

     Cool. And free.
