FWIW, I agree with Sony Barari. Librarianship is not science; it can be learned "on the streets";
and there are indeed many people who only became professional librarians because they were too inept
to do anything else.

Granted, s/he is writing from a position of utter ignorance, but I'm not. Who are we kidding? My,
your, and everyone else's M.L.S. is a joke.

Cheers!
