A Stack of Librarians
ould one of my dear library worker readers tell Doppelganger here at 50 books what we call a (collective noun) of librarians? You know my thoughts on the matter.

A collection of librarians?

How ’bout a school of librarians? A swarm? A coven? A pride? An exaltation? A rabble? A band?
I dunno.

Erica, I don’t know your thoughts on the matter. What are your thoughts?
My favorite phrase is a “library of librarians.”

The dusty old joke among UK librarians is that we are a shsh or a hush. Personally I don’t subscribe to this definition.

A catalog of librarians? A series? A stack?
March 8th, 2006 at 1:45 pm
Opps. Sorry, I see you’ve already done “stack.” My bad…

An anthology of librarians? An index of librarians? A file of librarians? A gang? A posse? So many options….
And what ARE your thoughts on the matter? :)

A volume of librarians? A bevy of librarians…oh! or a shock of librarians!

Techie options: A web of librarians, a net of librarians (okay, gag). A database of librarians … maybe that’s a bit of a stretch.
A facet of librarians (it allows the simultaneous identity of other ’stacks of librarians’). Too jargony?
My favourite from dictionary.com:
A bevy of librarians (although admittedly somewhat gender biased.)

I vote for a ‘catalog of librarians’.
(although…a Dewey of Librarians? nah.)

hee hee….
a binding of librarians.
LOL

Ooops – sorry, missed that ‘bevy’ was spoken for …

I like the hush of librarians, although binding is pretty good, too.

How about a shelf or pile of librarians? But I do like catalog.

A murder of librarians, perhaps?
Granted, crows aren’t the best bedfellows…but you have to admit it has a nice (if not public friendly) ring to it.

A ‘pride’ of librarians, surely ;-)

This “idle” of library assistants thought we’d join the fun
