An excellent review from The Wall Street Journal: Ms. Johnson’s enthusiasm for libraries and the people who work in them is refreshingly evident throughout the book. In a charming if meandering style, she samples from her conversations with traditional librarians and with “cybrarians,” a catch-all term for a generation of librarians intent on finding ways to integrate the old mission of the library with the new possibilities of technology. I just finished reading it and I feel it should be required reading for anyone entering library school. If anything, it made me feel optimistic and confident about my career choice and goals, which counteracts the dismal employment outlook that is being thrown around so much these days for aspiring librarians.
