[LM_NET] Obsolete Librarian-U S News chimes in

[Rebecca Richardson <rdrichardson1@GMAIL.COM>]

Collegues:  To add to what the public might think or is being guided
to think, librarian is listed at one of the top 25 careers for grads
to pursue by USNews.com, Wed, April 11, 2007, Money & Business:
Get-Ahead Careers for 2007.  Teacher is listed as an over-rated
career.  Hmmmm...

Here's the quote:
"Many are not surprising, such as engineer, pharmacist, and dentist.

But many others might be. Even though anybody can do a Google search,
for instance, librarians will be needed more and more to help us
navigate all that digital information."

Note, there is no mention of books, checking in or out or collection
development.
