		Jessamyn West: Yes, the media is all self-referential and they all admit it because nothing happens during the day at all.
		Jessamyn West: Every big party is. They can't help it; they have good intentions It's like people said about Gerald Ford: "If he saw a hungry kid he'd give him a sandwich, but he doesn't have realistic solutions to the poverty problem." It's a machine and it moves like a machine.

	Information for Sale: My Experience With Google Answers
		The difference between the Google Answers' model and the public/academic library model appears mainly that when a librarian gives a patron a response to their reference query, the patron tends not to argue with her.
		The fact that all library patrons share the time of the librarians tends to encourage a polite acceptance that each patron's specific question is one of many needing to be answered.
		Jessamyn West is a freelance librarian and researcher.

	Ex Libris--an E-Zine for Librarians and Information Junkies -- issue 22
		Jessamyn West's useful daily web log can be viewed at http://www.librarian.net; from there you can get to some of her other equally interesting sites.
		While some librarians seem reluctant to view the Internet as a good reference source, they often balance well with the librarians who are more internet focused [like myself] and may not have as much of a grasp on the print resources, especially print indices and the like.
		Librarians often seem to be forced to learn the new online catalog or Internet interface at the same time as the patrons, only they don't have as much free time to familiarize themselves with it.

	Bookslut \| An Interview with Jessamyn West
		Librarian.net is run by Jessamyn West, a librarian and library advocate who uses the site to connect library professionals to information all over the internet.
		West has chronicled issues ranging from the construction of prohibitive library edifices (big beautiful buildings) to the USA Patriot act.
		At my library the two reference librarians I work with mainly have a really good grasp on children's and reference materials respectively, so I don't beat myself up as much when I don't know things in that area but I try to beef up my online reference abilities since that area is my strength.

	Wired News: Don't Mess With Librarians
		Jessamyn West is a 36-year-old librarian living in central Vermont.
		She's a "radical librarian" who has embraced the hacker credo that "information wants to be free." As a result, West and many of her colleagues are on the front lines in battling the USA Patriot Act, which a harried Congress passed a month after 9/11 even though most representatives hadn't even read the 300-page bill.
		Naturally, this hasn't sat well with West, a self-described anti-capitalist blogger who was invited to the Democratic National Convention, and who has posted a page with links and photos that might best be described as library soft-core porn.

		When New Breed Librarian asked West what made librarianship exciting, she said, "[C]hampioning freedom to read and free access to information is not just lip service, it's a job description."

	The Librarian Is In and Online (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As someone who has been on both sides of these interactions—as a librarian and as a Google Answers researcher—I wanted to look a little more in-depth at what we are gaining, and losing, when we conflate answering a question with reference work, and what we can learn by observing the differences in the two systems.
		The fact that we as librarians will also tell you what time it is or where the bathroom is does not mean that we're not doing some serious question alchemy to help you find most things.
		Interestingly, saying that a librarian helped you answer a question was often enough to meet this "authority" standard, begging the question of why people weren't going to the library in the first place.

	LibraryTechtonics: Jessamyn West gets nice netplay on Wired
		For instance, a common stereotype is that librarians only deal with check-in and check-out, and shelving, and that we have lots of time to read.
		In some libraries, librarians help out with everything, and I think that, while it can be harrying at times, is a better way to portray a more multifaceted image.
		I think that kind of multitasked work, where a patron can follow a librarian with their eyes from circ to instruction to reference to tech support, and realize that librarians are wicked smart and do more than check out books, might be a way of changing the image of what we do.
