LISNews: Librarian Blog Since 1999

Library school students answered reference questions on the street to raise money for charity. On one Saturday, they answered 63 questions and raised over $500.

I often wonder what my help is worth. When asked, I say, "a million dollars." But eight bucks a question isn't too bad. So far today, I would have made $224.

But since I'm a real librarian and not a student, I might be worth a little more.
