Biblia's Guide to Warrior Librarianship: Humor for Librarians Who Refuse to Be Classified

by Amanda Credaro

Overview

Examining the lighter side of librarianship, this book presents a combination of outrageously funny cartoons, commentary, and wit. Globally known as Biblia, the Warrior Librarian, Amanda Credaro has teamed with cartoonist Peter Lewis and produced a book that expands on her award winning web site, Warrior Librarian Weekly, the product of many years of experience in librarianship. Equally applicable to all types of libraries, the work offers humorous advice, typical situations and dilemmas, and helpful examples that will be appreciated by anyone who has ever worked in a library. An additional section features a glossary of library terms, abbreviations, professional associations, and other resources.

Editorial Reviews

In today's climate of wars, plagues, and downsizing, diversions are a must, and humor helps us keep both our sanity and our perspective. For some librarians, thought-provoking humor by authors such as Will Manley fills the bill, but for others who remember (or are still experiencing) such provocative humor journals as Mad Magazine and Cracked, Credaro (a.k.a. Biblia, the Warrior Librarian) provides just what the doctor ordered (that is, if the doctor has a heavy mustache, a cigar, and a duck). Expanding on her online Warrior Librarian Weekly (www.warriorlibrarian. com) site, Credaro, who is a teacher-librarian in Australia, addresses such burning issues as "Becoming a Librarian," "Working a Library," "Diversions for Librarians," and "The Ultimate Challenge: School Librarianship." The illustrations by Lewis, an award-winning cartoonist, bring the whole work to life. Biblia's Guide to Warrior Librarianship is recommended for librarians who need a smile, a chuckle, or even a belly laugh. For those librarians who are humor-impaired (and you know who you are), please exercise caution if you open this book-it might induce a humorous reaction.-Tim Daniels, Lib. & Info Ctr., Georgia Inst. of Technology, Atlanta Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
