Re: [LM_NET] Am I too sensitive? Librarian vs. Library Aide

[Lyn Grund <lcgrund@YAHOO.COM>]

Patsy, I was just getting to respond, when you said exactly what I wanted to say, 
and said it so well, so I'll just add my "hear! hear!" to your statement. If we 
can't/don't take the time to be proactive about our profession and take our 
profession seriously then we should expect to be misunderstood and underappreciated.

  I thought LM_Net was a listserv for librarians and others  in 
the
library profession, who would understand that, despite the fact 
that we
have too LITTLE time to get it all done, it is important 
sometimes to
take a moment to engage in the sort of philosophical (and / or
practical) discussions that serve to improve the profession for 
ALL of
us, as well as serve as a support system in a career that can be
isolating.

My two cents.
