[Web4lib] RE: [Publib] Talk of the Nation to Talk 21st C. Libraries, 2-21

Absolutely! Li-bar-ian has always bothered me too. Awhile back I was 
testing an online dictionary (try Merriam-Webster Online: 
http://www.m-w.com/ if you can) and played the audio file for the 2nd 
pronunciation of librarian. There it is -- li-bar-ian. Guess I just 
don't get out often enough. :)
