I thought this job ad was funny because the title is “Head of Science and Medical Library Services & Keeper of Scientific Books.” No, I’m not looking for a new job, I just get them in my RSS feed. In some ways we librarians are keepers of books, but it just sounds weird to an American such as myself to think of that as part of our title. This job is across the pond in the UK so maybe their definition of what a librarian does or how they define it is different. They call the trunk of a car the boot and the hood a bonnet, so why can’t a librarian be the keeper of books?
