I think in the several years I've been doing this weblog, this is the first time I've done one of these tests.... However, the Are You a Librarian test was reasonably accurate (certainly so for those who have seen Anne and my bookshelves!)
| Aspiring Librarian You scored 41% on knowledge of librarianship. |
| You're getting there - you know more than most people about libraries. Maybe you're starting Library School and getting yourself ready to take over the profession. Or maybe you already work in a library but just don't know some of the history and details. But, you're more of an aspiring librarian than a full-fledged librarian. |
I get the same score. I guess I score badly on the more obscure history-of-the-library stuff.
What public library is your local library, and are you using anything to catalog your personal collection?
Posted by: Edward Vielmetti on January 17, 2006 03:11 PMOur local public library is the Sulzer Regional branch of the Chicago Public Library. They aren't as forward moving as the AA library work you've been showcasing - Oak Park apparently does more online outreach, for example.
We haven't been cataloging our collection yet. I've feinted at Delicious Monster, Collector, and LibraryThing a bit, but nothing seriously.
