These days, librarians work with information like general contractors. They analyze client interests and needs, identify the array of sources available to get the job done, evaluate each source's potential for cost-effective performance, and then strike the deal that gives the best value.rnThe difference between a day in the life of a librarian and an episode of Flip This House or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is that the librarian lives in-house unlike a housing contractor. For librarians, there's no escaping into a nearby motor vehicle with a turned-off cell phone lying on the seat. If anything goes wrong-if things don't work out or if schedules or promises aren't met-the librarian remains in place, taking the blame and hopping through hoops to fix the problems.
