Vast Active Library and Information Science blog. From a recent library science graduate in Wellington, New Zealand. A focus on reference and current awareness tools and issues, especially free, web-based resources.

 
Sadly (or perhaps not) it's nothing to do with the sexual image of librarians. CNN has named corporate librarians as one of its hot jobs for 2003/4.

"Librarians are needed far beyond the school and public library systems. Corporations, government and advertising agencies, law firms, museums, research laboratories and medical centers are just a few of the arenas Challenger noted have need for those with library science degrees.".

CNN listed the average salary for corporate librarians as $60-65, 000 (US obviously).

I hope two people read this - my father, and our HR director ;-)
