Administration Suit: “Libraries are filled with passive aggressive people.”
I’ll buy that, and I’ll cop to it, too. The cataloging department tends to see the worst of it, I think, but I have to say that as academic libraries go, my experience is that the passive aggression level here–even in cataloging–is below average. I hear a lot of whinging about it from coworkers, but as most of them have spent their entire professional lives here (which in itself speaks very highly of this institution), I don’t believe they have a very accurate compass by which to judge.
