Time to smarten up

Forget bloggers in their pajamas. A colleague recently zeroed in on a group that really needs a makeover. I speak of librarians. I remember one day in library school coming in late and taking a look around at my colleagues and thinking: "Must you?"

Last year there was a big ruckus in library land about the Librarian Action Figure. Listservs were abuzz with outrage about the stereotype of the librarian in a bun. I say: The world would be a better place if you confined your sartorial sins to wearing a bun and sensible shoes.
