Pro tip: Most librarians have master's degrees and their field is all about information storage/organization/retrieval. It takes very little time to teach a kid how to put books on a shelf. The reason librarians are at libraries is to manage the collection of knowledge and to help people find information. So I'd give a lot of weight to a librarian's opinion on a search engine. The hardest part is finding out whether or not someone working at a library is a "real" librarian without being insulting.
- bonoboTP 6y agoProbably different in different places, but in many libraries I've been to, you often interface with student part time workers or the stereotypical ancient person who still lives in a previous age and is bitter about people being impolite. But I'm always reading positive stuff about American public libraries that they are not really just about borrowing books, but free internet, photocopying, showers, some kind of free social program to help poor people with any information related stuff, like job search or government forms.
- reaperducer 6y agoMy parents used to check out power tools from the library when they were doing home maintenance. Libraries are awesome.
- Mediterraneo10 6y ago> Most librarians have master's degrees This may be true of public libraries (at least major branches) and university libraries in the USA, but is it true even of high school libraries?
