I'm a great librarian!

It occurs to me, in light of today's Unshelved, that a truly great librarian knows where all the books are (even when the computers are down) and can deal with the computers, too. I can actually say that. :) Of course, our book collection is probably around 1200 books at the hospital, so it's not like having a large collection memorised. Still...it's pretty nice to just whip out a book magically from the shelves after someone has looked a couple of times. It's really fun to have someone ask for books on Cerebral Palsy and rattle off WS 342 as the shelf number without batting an eye or 'looking it up'. :)
