or an information officer? they have these in councils too, but dealing with council tax and benefits (no degree needed!) Hmm!
maybe I am a knowledge gardener?
a information specialist sounds suspicious....
how bout a k-guardian?
business librarian makes sense?
a researcher? sounds as if I stand on the high st annoying people with my questions, or worse even, over the telephone on a Friday at 6pm!
k-provider maybe?
sometimes a k-warrior? grrr?
So many job titles - all filling a librarianship role .... sigh ... why do people understand exactly who you are if you say your a librarian, it just doesn't need clarification, rather than when I say "hey, I'm a information officer" why??
I would like to be called something that describes what I do, and I don't mind librarian as a title, but it makes it sound like the stereotypical librarian............... because I do have glasses and I do put my hair up in a bun and I do deal with books! ......... but what word can I use to expand the librarian title, I thought something like a business librarian........ at least it tells people I am a librarian but a business one.......... is that me?
