speaking of suck
Have you ever seen so many uses of the word “probably” in a press-release type article before? Scientists think they have a new way of drying out waterlogged books… but they dont seem quite sure yet. [thanks john]
suck
Anchorage library laying off 22 higher-educated librarians, hiring ten new workers at lower pay. Whenever they ask me about the “librarian shortage” I point them to stories like these.
[the mayor] described the library’s layoffs of upper-end employees and the hiring next year of 10 new workers at lower pay as a restructuring…. they will not receive severance pay but will be able to cash out unused leave… Some can choose whether to accept the layoff or to exercise “bumping rights” to move down a step, pushing other workers further down. [thanks bill]

Hi. Okay it’s settled. Welcome to librarian.net using Movable Type and hosted on ibiblio’s servers! Extra thanks to Blake for the little workaround while librarian.net was down and the ibiblio folks for getting it back up. I’m going to mess around with format a bit to try to get the posts into individual RSS nuggets, please stand by.
