A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Loretta Lynn carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

hi elvie. i'm a librarian. library school is a huge racket, try to do it for as cheap as you can. also, the jobs are not NEARLY as plentiful as they'd have you believe. one of my fellow libs has her masters and still has to work 3 part time jobs.

I'm probably going to enroll in what USED to be "library school" at Michigan, which has now become the "School of Information." Particularly, the "Human-Computer Interaction" specialization. It's a pretty great program. My wife is a law librarian, which is also pretty interesting.

ypsi doug - umichigan i've heard lovely things about. plus you'll get the instate tuition rate, so all the better. law librarians have it pretty good - there's not huge amounts of jobs, but the jobs that do exist are challenging and usually pay well. i highly recommend some level of specializing within your degree, all you wannabe librarians!

NYU has a library science program?
Thu. 7/31/08 11:01am
From:
elvie
well, NYU doesn't have a MLIS. but they have a dual degree program with the palmer school at Long Island University. you apply separately to the schools, but it enables you to get your MLIS from LIU (and you can take all classes on the NYU campus) and get an additional degree from any discpline in the college of arts and sciences at NYU. also, you are allowed to complete fewer credits if you do the dual degree program than if you completed each degree separately.
Thu. 7/31/08 11:03am
From:
christine
Elvie: wow, I had no idea. I may look into that program myself. Thanks for the info.
Thu. 7/31/08 11:05am
From:
elvie
oh good! the palmer school has offered the MLIS degree since the early or mid 90s, i think. but the dual degree with NYU has only existed for a couple of years, so no one really knows about it yet. you should go to gradschools.com. they have every program in the world listed, even lower profile ones.

Play that Bruce song again. I think you missed it last week, but I was defending Bruce saying that the Merritt song is basically a lo-fi ripoff of stuff Bruce was doing circa Born in the USA/Tunnel of Love. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

so what kind of librarians do all y'all want to be?
books: just picked up Roxy Music Both Ends Burning, but i haven't read it yet. have any of you? and i just read a book about beer activism called Fermenting Revolution. it had great ideas, but the dude needed an editor.

I will 2nd or 3rd or 4th The Savage Detectives. It went too quickly for a book its size. "Then We Came to the End" (Joshua Farris) was entertaining too, once we got used to narration in the first person plural.

From:

yes, d, if you study at NYU to be a librarian, you have to get swallowed up by the ominous, suicide-inducing bobst library. but i also went to nyu undergrad, so i am now immune to its evil.
kent - i would like to be an arts librarian, or possibly more specifically a film librarian. i am interested in collections management, and also in curating/programming for libraries or museums. i am also interested in preservation. ooh! and i'm also interested in rare books. i can't narrow it down! it's all so lovely!

I just read a brilliant book: "Glasshouse" by Charles Stross. It's set in a future where people can change/alter genders and bodies easily, and back up copies of themselves, but viruses have erased many memories, and much of history is forgotten. The characters enter a simulation of the "dark ages" of late 20th/early 21st century society, supposedly devised by history professors, but then they can't get out.
