Librarians Get Their Geek On
Yes, librarians geek, too. See what they are passionate about and why they think the public library is a vital community resource. Are you a librarian? Tell us what you geek.
Librarians care about you and your community. They help you explore what you geek and improve the place where you live. And this passion goes well beyond the library walls.

As a librarian at a university in Georgia, I collaborate with lots of people to make sure we have the information resources we need in our library...books, journals, databases, videos, etc. This is a challenge because of the level of state funding our institution receives. As enrollment grows, prices grow (lots of e-resources are priced according to enrollment), but our budget doesn't. Thankfully our administration does its best to supplement our budget with other revenues, but we still have to deal with canceling subscriptions to balance the budget, even while we're growing new doctoral programs.
