Good thing you know a librarian! ;-p

What do you want to know (about library science)?

And a library technician, too ... if, between the two of us, we don't know it, it probably doesn't exist! ;p

Thinking of a way to verbalize my answer so it makes sense - to me and others! Will write it when I have it pinned down. Largely to do with the intersection of "old school" library science, database development, and taxonomy design - all of these are related but not identical (I think).

See my reply upthread to ladyaelfwynn - I'm gaining exposure to other disciplines that *seem* similar to library science but that I don't know enough to know if my perception is right or not.

There's a whole family of disciplines that are so closely related to "library" that the whole thing borders on incest. ;p If it helps with your definitions/perceptions, my cataloguing training could be applied to anything from a museum's or art gallery's collections to a police crime-matching database. They're all the same thing under the skin ... define a group of things in a consistent format so that they may be found via a variety of access points.
