I find this disturbing. Sure, there are more damaging stereotypes out
there -- many damaging to the core of mortal sin, but C'MON! How many
people must to continue to drown in this gulf created by the gap between
information providers ("Bill Gates") and Librarians ("shhhh")!?!?

There was an item about this also in the Seattle paper at:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/135224851_librarian10.ht
ml
At any rate, it is an interesting addition to previous discussions on
this
list about the 'image' of librarians.

Check out an article at the New York Times this morning, "A Librarian
is Making a Big Noise":
http://www.nytimes.com/2003/10/09/books/09LIBR.html
Not to belittle Ms. Pearl's considerable accomplishments, but in my
opinion, an art librarian would have made a more fashionable,
attractive and lively action doll...
