Budget cuts all around

Based on the five strategic plans presented today in my Library/Information Center Management class, anyone trying to get into librarianship with a full-time job right now would be better off looking into corporate (privately-funded) libraries/archives/information centers.

Public libraries aren't doing that well, unless you live in a rich community. Thanks a lot/for nothing, Governator.

you can be the stereotypical librarian and still work for a corporation. it's possible. then, you're part of the business intelligence group. which is a nice way of saying: corporate espionage. now, that's exciting!
