I'm toasting you now with a warming little glass of Mocha Caramel liquor in your honor. (It's a tad chilly here in Chicago...brrr).  Seriously though, congrats and best wishes to you.

Why, that is wonderful news! Sounds like a dream-come-true type of job too.

Congratulations, Luciaphill from a fellow librarian-degree person!  Make sure you practice your shhhhhhing (volume and pitch mean everything, as well as finger placement before the lips!).

    Congrats, Luciaphil.   Here is a library story.  I went into the library for a library card but did not check out any books.  I got an overdue notice a week later.  The books were all childrens books.  I told them I did not check out any books.  They said they would look into it but would not issue me a new card.  A month later, I got another overdue notice but for different childrens books.  I went into the library to ask for a new card and again was told they did not do this.  Just then, the head librarian walked by and asked what was going on.  The librarian told the head librarian that I wanted a new card.   He gave her a withering glance and said issue the lady a new card.  Luciaphil, learn the art of the withering glance and you will get all that you want in this life(either that or a new library card).

Wow! Thanks for all the congrats (you can stop smirking, Rainey :) )

When you say you're going the "academic route", what does that mean?  You want to work in a university library?  (I know nothing about library science).


Yep, you got it. I want to work in a college library. I could do public, but I really like the academic environment so that's what I'm pursuing.

Congratulations, Luciaphil!

It truly is a wonderful profession and I wish you all the best on landing a library position that suits you.  Before I completed my library degree, I worked as a library assistant at Harvard and loved being in an academic environment.  I am not surprised that you want to go that route yourself.  Are you looking for a public or a technical services job?  

And what is it with librarians and Dark Shadows anyway?  I know - exquisite taste!  [thumb]

Congratulations, dear lady!  I am so proud for you.  Perhaps some day I shall consider following in your estimable footsteps and have a chance at freeing myself from Library Assistant hell.

Best of luck with the job search!

And in case I don't get to say it ... Happy Holidays!

Library Assistant hell.

Oh, say it isn't so, Gothick!  I guess it all depends of the people you work with and the type of work you do, and I must have been very lucky there. Working as a library assistant was a blast but the pay was dismal - well, even more dismal than that of librarians in general.  (Let's face it, we're not exactly in a highly paid profession, are we?)  

I'm really amazed at the number of library people on this site!  But maybe I shouldn't be-
