25 Famous Librarians Who Changed History is a nifty list that Brian Herzog of the Swiss Army Librarian blog passed on. Laura Mulligan wrote it on a new blog called OnlineBestColleges.com.
For instance, did you know that J. Edgar Hoover was a clerk and cataloguer for the Library of Congress whilst putting himself through night school?
One of the nicest nods is to Jessamyn West, of librarian.net. It's great to see a present-day librarian making history, too. And Nancy Pearl (of librarian action figure fame) is listed as a present-day history maker, as well.
