VonKleist:
Yeah. you don't really have to be a librarian for a lot of things you´ll do in a library.
I did an Internship at the local college library and the head of departement (loan/lending etc.) said she basically never did any library-specific stuff anymore because it´s gotten to be just like middle-management. Which is the case with a lot of jobs in public service, I guess.
On the other hand the system (of scientific libraries) is quite complex, so to really know what you are doing and why you should have the BA or something.
My professor in library marketing is a chemist.

I don't usually make comments like this but regarding panel 4:
Eh, What's up, Doc?

Isn't Rebecca Hebrew? But a Western-style name, legal or assumed for convenience, is quite likely. It's interesting that the East Asian names that have been suggested here so far are all Japanese. The influence of manga and anime, presumably. I vote for Korean!
The red-head has a stare like a basilisk.

--- End quote ---
Indeed she did, but she's written a lot of things since, and it's a bit weird that people are so fixated on a book first published in 1970. The depressing thing about The Female Eunuch is not its anger (which is easy to understand and indeed share), or that it is chaotic and poorly-written (which it is IMHO), but that so many of the things it said about the position of women in society are still true more than 40 years later.

--- End quote ---
Ah yes, just looked it up, Tai did say it but it was in a guest comic. She said 'I just work here' too.
Soulsynger:
A thought! ... Jeph is building up "another CoD". Like tSB was a CoD. A place to let characters converse and let arcs start and end or unfold.
We are witnessing the introduction to "Questionable Content: The Library Files"...
