I'm not sure what press release you're referring to, Paula, but to add to
the discussion: Check out this month's American Libraries issue for a
shocking article on librarians being eligible for low-income support and
benefits. There's also some rather pointed statements about the ALA
lobbying for libraries, not for librarians.
Let's get militant!

Subject: [ARLIS-L] librarian shortage press release
I don't suppose anyone mentioned that one reason librarianship is not
attracting new people is because we are so underpaid as a profession.
Especially when they want more services, like multiple languages, database
skills, etc. etc. But then again, maybe we aren't more valuable than a bus
driver. PH
