library acronyms
I am tired of the number of acronyms found in the library world: RUSA, CLA, ACRL, LCSH, JSTOR, ASS, SLA, OPP, and NADS. I can't even keep straight what most of them are because there are so many. The above sampling is just the tip of the iceberg. It's just so annoying sometimes, like we all need to talk in code or something. As resident Renegade Librarian at Western's Faculty of Information Studies (not FIMS!), I am going to break the trend and just say everything in full so as to go against the trendy acronym tide. Fellow librarians, take my hand and let me lead you into the future...

RIS, ISP, TK, MOT, CBT, CMM, NCC, MCC, DCC, SMT, FF1, be like the rest of us and use the terms and not know what they mean half the time. 7-eleven/librarian who would have thought they would have been so similar?

You left out some of my favourites: OLA, DDC, and CHIPIG. Gotta say I like speaking in code. Makes me feel like we are librarian spies and cools up the profession.
