Zen and the Art of Barcoding

Abstract

I have a friend in Pennsylvania who stoutly refuses to believe that when asked by strangers what I do for a living, I say that I'm a librarian. “Nonsense,” she says, “you're a library director, and directors never describe themselves as ‘librarians.’ Librarians don't have ‘power’ breakfasts,” she concludes. “Directors do!”
