“Of Cabbages — and Kings” — and Comparative Things

Abstract

No one has yet sued a librarian for malpractice. Perhaps, as many have suggested, this indicates the public's view of librarianship and its relative value among the professions. Perhaps instead it testifies to the consistently high quality of service librarians universally deliver. Whatever the reason or reasons, librarians have had and continue to have responsibilities to meet. Reference librarians have responsibilities to the patrons they serve and to the agencies or institutions for which they work.
