“ The nature of academic and research librarianship changed today. Today, all Harvard librarians were essentially given pink slips, asked to participate in a website that has tips on rewriting your resume and changing your career, and also asked to basically re-apply for their jobs. You can read updates on twitter at #hlth

So this just happened. (Twitter channel.)

Well, this is alarming.

So much worse than this quote indicates. Why? Because it was apparent at the #hlth meeting that the senior administrators did not have a damned clue as to what was even going on. They didn’t have answers to at least half of the questions and concerns that came from the library staff. Obviously it was a good idea for them to call that meeting then, right? So, I must ask, who deserves to have their jobs on the line, the librarians or the administrators being paid to not know anything?
