[Web4lib] New Job Title Pulled from Thin Air

What fate the dweebs?

To bring this back (sort of) to a library tech focus, I'm delighted to
see more librarians enthusiastically embracing the "geekier" or
"nerdier" aspects of our jobs, and even holding the new titles with
pride, whether the new title came upon us "accidentally" or
deliberately.  This bodes well for our future relevancy.

I, for one, am working on getting "Library Technology Goddess"
officially engraved on a name plate.  No joy as yet.  And whither my
magic lasso?
