Librarianship is one of the few callings in the world for which is it still possible to feel unqualified admiration and respect. ~ Jan Struther
Librarianship quotes by Jan Struther
To librarians, booksellers, and collectors there is nothing limited in the subject of books about books. ~ Leona Rostenberg
Librarianship quotes by Leona Rostenberg
I like to imagine that library school was started because of some sort of silly bar bet where a guy got really plastered and told his buddy that he could convince people that librarians needed to be trained in the art of librarianship. Sadly, this is not the case; its roots are a bit more academic. ~ Scott Douglas
Librarianship quotes by Scott Douglas
Librarians hoard the wisdom of humanity. They are the keepers of all knowledge, the guardians at the temples of understanding and devoted protectors of the sanctuary in the midst of uneducated anarchy. ~ Stephen Colbert
Librarianship quotes by Stephen Colbert
Of course. Ask your librarian. Always the right answer. ~ Marilyn Johnson
Librarianship quotes by Marilyn Johnson
Does he think the job of a librarian is so simple, so empty of content, that anyone can step up and do it for a thank-you and a cup of tea? Does he think that all a librarian does is to tidy the shelves? ~ Philip Pullman
Librarianship quotes by Philip Pullman
the proper mission of librarians: "to improve society through facilitating knowledge creation in their communities. ~ The Atlas Of New Librarianship
Librarianship quotes by The Atlas Of New Librarianship
The historical principles of librarianship - universal access to information, individual privacy, freedom of expression, and truth above all else - are as necessary now as they have ever been and must persist. At the same time, the balance of library leadership needs to swing more forcefully toward the new or libraries will fade in their significance to the American public. ~ John Palfrey
Librarianship quotes by John Palfrey
The ocean flows of online information are all streaming together, and the access tools are becoming absolutely critical. If you don't index it, it doesn't exist. It's out there but you can't find it, so it might as well not be there. ~ Barbara Quint
Librarianship quotes by Barbara Quint
The implications of such marginalization are profound. The insights about sexist and racist biases... are important because information organizations, from libraries to schools and universities to governmental agencies, are increasingly reliant on being displaced by a variety of web-based "tools" as if there are no political, social, or economic consequences of doing so. ~ Safiya Umoja Noble
Librarianship quotes by Safiya Umoja Noble
Librarianship is a form of heroism. It's just not as flashy as swords and dragons. ~ Seanan McGuire
Librarianship quotes by Seanan McGuire
The perfect Librarian is calm, cool, collected, intelligent, multilingual, a crack shot, a martial artist, an Olympic-level runner (at both the sprint and marathon), a good swimmer, an expert thief, and a genius con artist. They can steal a dozen books from a top-security strongbox in the morning, discuss literature all afternoon, have dinner with the cream of society in the evening, and then stay up until midnight dancing, before stealing some more interesting tomes at three a.m. That's what a perfect Librarian would do. In practice, most Librarians would rather spend their time reading a good book. ~ Genevieve Cogman
Librarianship quotes by Genevieve Cogman
Librarians! Librarians always know how to find out things. That was their job even before the Internet. ~ Susan Beth Pfeffer
Librarianship quotes by Susan Beth Pfeffer
Everybody should have a librarian. ~ Beth Fantaskey
Librarianship quotes by Beth Fantaskey
If librarianship is the connecting of people to ideas – and I believe that is the truest definition of what we do – it is crucial to remember that we must keep and make available, not just good ideas and noble ideas, but bad ideas, silly ideas, and yes, even dangerous or wicked ideas. ~ Graceanne A. Decandido
Librarianship quotes by Graceanne A. Decandido
A library is a place to go for a reality check, a bracing dose of literature, or a "true reflection of our history," whether it's a brick-and-mortar building constructed a century ago or a fanciful arrangement of computer codes. The librarian is the organizer, the animating spirit behind it, and the navigator. Her job is to create order out of the confusion of the past, even as she enables us to blast into the future. ~ Marilyn Johnson
Librarianship quotes by Marilyn Johnson
Good librarians are natural intelligence operatives. They possess all of the skills and characteristics required for that work: curiosity, wide-ranging knowledge, good memories, organization and analytical aptitude, and discretion. ~ Marilyn Johnson
Librarianship quotes by Marilyn Johnson
...large technologies such as Google need to be broken up and regulated, because their consolidated power and cultural influence make competition largely impossible. This monopoly in the information sector is a threat to democracy... ~ Safiya Umoja Noble
Librarianship quotes by Safiya Umoja Noble
In order to be really good as a librarian, everything counts towards your work, every play you go see, every concert you hear, every trip you take, everything you read, everything you know. I don't know of another occupation like that. The more you know, the better you're going to be. ~ Allen Smith
Librarianship quotes by Allen Smith
Knowledge equals power ...
The string was important. After a while the Librarian stopped. He concentrated all his powers of librarianship.
Power equals energy ...
People were stupid, sometimes. They thought the Library was a dangerous place because of all the magical books, which was true enough, but what made it really one of the most dangerous places there could ever be was the simple fact that it was a library.
Energy equals matter ...
He swung into an avenue of shelving that was apparently a few feet long and walked along it briskly for half an hour.
Matter equals mass.
And mass distorts space. It distorts it into polyfractal L-space.
So, while the Dewey system has its fine points, when you're setting out to look something up in the multidimensional folds of L-space what you really need is a ball of string. ~ Terry Pratchett
Librarianship quotes by Terry Pratchett
So where does one go in such a wobbly, elusive, dynamic, confusing age? Wherever the librarians and archivists are.
They're sorting it all out for us. ~ Marilyn Johnson
Librarianship quotes by Marilyn Johnson
We find the library world, like the real world, impossible to understand on a rational basis. We turn then to the outer reaches of our mind and treat librarianship with the irrationality that it deserves. While we most often turn to humour merely to enjoy ourselves, we do sometimes do so to make a point. That point is simply that the world of librarianship is ridiculous and that we should all take a far less serious view of our work. What we accomplish as librarians is not, after all, likely to change the world."
~ Norman D. Stevens ~ Peter Gellatly
Librarianship quotes by Peter Gellatly
Librarianship was not just a job for her, but her tikkun olam, the Hebrew phrase for "repairing the world. ~ Kate Stewart
Librarianship quotes by Kate   Stewart
His elegant librarianship ... made me appreciate how order is created: Not through grand schemes - to which I was often drawn - but by small graceful actions, repeated often and refined with time. ~ Avi Steinberg
Librarianship quotes by Avi Steinberg
That's how librarians are. They just can't help it. ~ Carla Morris
