“They are right up there with education, journalism and “studies” majors. Christ, it takes a masters degree in library science to get a job running a library. It is over credentialism at its worst.”
The core of library sciences is researching... I’ve only seen them check out books, heck the library candy striper is the one who puts the books back on the shelf.
Researching what? Library science? After a hour orientation to the library when I was in college I was able to do my own research. There isn’t a library science major smart enough or knowledgeable enough to do research in the real sciences. Anyways, you don’t go to a public library to do research. Public libraries are where the vast majority of over credentialed library science types work. Next to that is Barnes and Nobles. Library science isn’t a science by the way. The name is a dead give away to massive Napoleon complexes. It’s as if libraries were monster trucks built for their need to compensate for inadequacies.
