“The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public . . . Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy.”
William Osler
“If you have something to do tomorrow, do it today.”
Benjamin Franklin
“The only barrier for what you can do tomorrow is the doubt of today's.”
Michal Baca
“Many students are not aware that librarians are tenure-tracked faculty members. Librarians are in the 'publish or perish' category required for tenure and promotion. The education required is a minimum of two master's degrees, one being mandatory - a Master's in Library Science - and a second Master's degree in any subject. These must be from an accredited university. A number of librarians have a Ph.D.”
Byron Anderson
“If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians”
Warren Buffett
“The librarian must be the librarian militant before he can be the librarian triumphant.”
Melvil Dewey
“Don't say I'm a librarian though,”
Richard Hoyer
