Just a random thought stemming from discussions elsewhere, when I mentioned that there's a lot of librarian-type people on my LJ: who of you are librarians? (Or library techs, or MLIS students, etc.)

I am!

Well, I have my MLIS, but I'm still doing the library assistant thing because that's how the market is.

Not me, though I can definitely think of worse ways to spend my retirement!

I am! (Well, until I get tenure I'm officially considered an 'associate librarian' by my workplace, I think, but that's just being picky. XD )

academic librarian about an hour's drive southwest of you. :)

Public librarian in Georgia. Got my MLS and everything. ;)

I've got my MLS, and I worked in libraries as a reference librarian, manager of reference services, and law library director for 12 years. Now, though, I'm a full time writer.

I believe you may have seniority! XD

I am old and have much grey hair :-)

When I was growing up, my parents were actually BOTH librarians. My mother was the library tech at the high school I went to, and my father is still a reference librarian with the Pierce County Library System.

So, yeah - I've been working in libraries since I was about 10. :P

I've worked myself in several college libraries, but never in the public system - the system here in town is pretty much soaked in nepotism, and it's impossible to get work for them. But I worked in the library at my last college as an Interlibrary Loan assistant, and I even worked for the state for a while, creating and maintaining a small internal cataloguing system for a little department library.

Right now, I'm finishing up some pre-reqs for my teaching degree at the local community college, and I managed to snatch up a pretty well coveted library page job there. It's my favorite library so far. :)

I did a lot of research into getting an MLIS and was *THIS* close, but decided to do MATESOL instead. (Not entirely sure whether that was the right decision.) My best friend since junior high is a librarian in Wichita Falls, TX, though.

Me, 25+ years a librarian. What? Don't I LOOK like a librarian?

I just graduated in may with my MLS.

job hunting is painful

Boston-area MLIS student graduating in May (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH); working in a corporate library, once worked in an academic library.

High school librarian here! (Paid like a library assistant, but that's the market. :P)

Me. Sort of. I have my MLS, and my title is Discovery Librarian, but I actually mostly handle data mining.

I'm a former librarian (of 10 years) turned cabinetmaker/prop maker. Does that count? ;)
