Professional Astronomy without a Librarian
نویسنده
چکیده
Virtually every “serious” place where professional astronomy is done has a librarian, even if shared with the physics or math department.

I describe my experience of now five years as “amateur” librarian, and present information on other small astronomy institutions in Mexico in a similar situation.
