THE FIVE TYPES OF LIBRARY NEWS STORIES

As reported on her blog, The Eclectic Librarian, Anna Creech [Central Washington University, Ellensburg, USA] has determined that there are five types of general news articles about librarians:

1. Librarians are hip. No, really! That stereotype thing is so last week.
2. Librarians are awesome! Look at all the cool stuff they do. No one appreciates them as much as they should.
3. Gasp! A librarian did [insert act of bravery or indecency]!
4. OH NOES! There aren’t enough librarians!
5. OH NOES! There aren’t enough librarian jobs!

My comment: isn’t it time to get rid of numbers 4 and 5 and make sure there are more of number 2?!
