Slashdot: Libraries are 31337:

Many people may hold the image of a librarian as a shushing school marm who does little more than stamp and shelve books because that's all they've seen librarians do. Well think again - that's about as inaccurate as believing that Alan Greenspan is nothing more than a glorified bank teller. The job titles may change but the mission of the profession remains the same: organize information and help people find it.

I don't know how to show my respect for librarians other than to just thank every one of them for helping so many ungreatful people hehe.
