Library science is a real diploma.

There is a lot more to being a librarian than putting books on a shelf. The modern librarian has to know how all media formats work, as well as, how to organize information so it’s readily accessible by a Joe Schmo.

I knew I was going undershoot this ....

In the age of computers I see less actual print media and more Google.

I don’t think I’ve seen a real librarian since I was kid.... a long time ago.

There's a company in Silicon Valley whose declared mission is "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful" (google the phrase if you're wondering which). I wonder how many library science majors have managed to get jobs there.

You just described Google.

I find I have to be more like O’Connell in “The Mummy”.

Specially in “Mummy II” when he is hanging on the edge of Hell and the lost souls are clawing at him trying to drag him down. That’s my job.
