Best careers 2009...

At least according to the US News.com website from the site;

"Forget about that image of librarians as a mousy bookworms. More and more of today's librarians must be clever interrogators, helping the patron to reframe their question more usefully. Librarians then become high-tech information sleuths, helping patrons plumb the oceans of information available in books and digital records, often starting with a clever Google search but frequently going well beyond"

We like to think we're "high-tech information sleuths" at the BIALL Blog, unfortunately there is some bad news from the site "Librarianship is an underrated career" that will be because people think we're "mousy bookworms" rather then "information sleuths" and what does the article say is the key skill that all Librarians must have?

..."persistent sleuthing" so get out there and start sleuthing...
