After 43 years!
Yes after 43 years of service to the library; my supervisor is retiring in January! We got a sad taste of what his absence might be like. He has been out for 1 week and 2 days with Bronchitis. Everyone is running low on work to do. We are managing, though. He plans to be in on Monday.

He supervises 3 professional catalogers and 3 non-professional staff of which I am one. Of the three non-professionals; I have been on staff the longest but have had no library school studies behind me.

At least so far the Dept. head hasn't put me out to pasture.

Sometimes work experience is better then studies. I know many businesses require degrees etc but then what good is that if you don't have experience. I'd take experience over paper knowledge anyday

For some tasks a little library school is good but on the whole experience is better but that may not be what the library values these days. Sad but true.
