Librarian Humor
Librarians get a bad rap. No matter what we do, the prevailing stereotype
is Marian the Librarian.
Luckily, many librarians have a sense of humor.
Here are some sites & pages that deliver a different view of librarianship.
A lot of them refer to the same sites. This is only a sampling of some
of my favorites.
Classics
-
The Lipstick Librarian
-
A classic 1950s-inspired paean to librarianship.
-
Librarian Avengers
-
How great is this site? It has a panel from "Strangers in Paradise" on
its splash page.
-
The Modified Librarian
-
Or, Librarians have tattoos, too, as well a piercings.
-
Red Dot Com
-
Outdoor artists on a slide librarian wavelength.
Comics
-
Overdue
-
An often amusing comic strip focusing upon public libraries.
-
Tom
the Dancing bug
-

Reference
-
The Underground Library
-
Great gatewway site to many of the wackier librarian-related pages.
-
IFLANet
-
Yep, even this international professional organization collects these kinds
of links.
Caveat for information professionals: I like the "L" word. I am a
librarian and proud of it. I also love archives. Send me enough links and
I will make a separate section for amusing archivists.
