Looking for a new career well suited to these tough economic times? Why not try Librarian? U.S. News and World Report lists it as one of the Best Careers for 2009!

Forget about that image of librarians as a mousy bookworms. More and more of today's librarians must be clever interrogators, helping the patron to reframe their question more usefully. Librarians then become high-tech information sleuths, helping patrons plumb the oceans of information available in books and digital records, often starting with a clever Google search but frequently going well beyond."
