I just read another nice article about librarians, "When Google fails, local librarians know the answer." This one was in the Schaumburg (Illinois) Review. A quote from it: "The numbers suggest that people still rely heavily on librarians despite all the information supposedly available at our fingertips via the World Wide Web" (emphasis mine).
You can read the entire article at http://www.pioneerlocal.com/cgi-bin/ppo-story/localnews/

It's about time we got some respect.

She was the editor and publisher of The One-Person Library: A Newsletter for Librarians and Management from 1998-2009 and is the author of articles for publications such as American Libraries and Searcher. An active member of SLA since 1980, she was the inaugural chair of its SOLO Librarian’s division, which is now the fourth largest division of the association with nearly 1,000 members.
