I found this article about the new roles of librarians in the digital age to be fascinating. I also find it disturbing when librarians are let go first in a budget shortage. I've had a series of good librarians in my life from the time I was in pre-school up until I was working on my masters thesis and I can tell you there is nothing better than a good librarian when you're researching something - even if it is just which bugs are the most gross.
My very best friend (since college) is a research librarian in a very large company. Most librarians in this sector have been let go, but they still need some to help everyone else keep up with what is available electronically.
