University Librarian

Famous quotes containing the words university and/or librarian:

    A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
    Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    In early days, I tried not to give librarians any trouble, which was where I made my primary mistake. Librarians like to be given trouble; they exist for it, they are geared to it. For the location of a mislaid volume, an uncatalogued item, your good librarian has a ferret’s nose. Give her a scent and she jumps the leash, her eye bright with battle.
    Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897–1973)
