There are some for whom the term "librarian" conjures up a negative image, so they prefer to be called "media specialists". I searched both terms on Flickr. There were 741 results for "media specialist", mostly pictures taken at meetings [Yawn]. There were 90,062 results for "librarian" and these ranged from the old stereotypes (hair in a bun, sensible shoes, "shhh") to anything but - now you're talking!
I've never really liked the term "media specialist" - may have been a bad reaction to reading Marshall McLuhan in my youth. I am ready to go shopping for some of these librarian temporary tattoos!
