This week I’ve decided to take a
look at the Annoyed Librarian’s blogs. After looking over a few I found one
which sounded really interesting, titled ‘Just What is a Guybrarian?’. This
blog is found at http://annoyedlibrarian.blogspot.com.au/2008_02_01_archive.html
(viewed 11/08/2012).
Well in this particular blog, that
was posted 13/02/2008, the Annoyed Librarian takes a couple hundred words to
tell us about a term being tossed around, ‘guybrarian’, a follow-up on a
previous blog. The whole piece has a rather sarcastic and overall humorous tone
as the author talks about ‘guybrarians’, what they are and whether or not all
male librarians can be counted under this so-called title.
The blog post was quite amusing,
written as somewhat of a joke in response to a comment left on a post from
about two week before. I admit I had never heard of the term ‘guybrarian’
before so I learnt a new word today! And while I knew that librarians were typically
female I did not know that there was such a strong stereotype imbedded into
some peoples brains that they had to come up with something like ‘guybrarian’.
I believe that despite this new
knowledge presented to me today I shall continue doing as I have always done…And
call male librarians, librarians.
