This was forwarded to me by a public librarian friend.
The Winter 2001 issue of Occupational Outlook Quarterly (published as a
government document by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics) has a cover
story
about the library profession. Entitled "Librarians: Information Experts
for
an Information Age," this 14 page article is available in PDF format from
their homepage at: http://www.bls.gov/opub/ooq/ooqhome.htm
This interesting article has information on library job growth
projections,
future salaries in the profession ("More jobs, more money"), and some idea
of where the field is going. Not only does it ask (and answer) the
question, "Why be a librarian?", the article also suggests what other
things a graduate can do with a library degree. A good recruiting tool.
Cool. And free.
