REAL LIBRARIANS ROAR
By

(MONEY Magazine) – What a cheap shot you took at librarians for the sake of making a comparison between salesmen's and librarians' personalities in June's ''The 10 Mistakes to Avoid with Your Money.'' Wake up and greet the modern librarian! Today's librarian is an information professional in tune with state-of-the-art laser scanners, optical image processors and computerized data bases. We engage in strategic planning, multimillion-dollar fiscal management and active classroom teaching. One simply cannot keep up with sophisticated technological advances such as these and be ''shy and withdrawn . . . with little real interest in people or the world of reality.'' Jerry W.
