This is a very general question for a listserv. Considering a graduate course requires about 160 hours of work to master the subject, what can be written in an e-mail?
I work in a small library and the amount of expertise required of the librarians varies by the day. Even though I am supposed to be mostly a cataloger, at any given moment I could give reference help, advise students on using a computer program, work on acquisitions, lead a library instruction session, do outreach, prepare publicity, and attend management meetings. In addition to cataloging everything from 2013 books to non-print media in any format since the beginning of writing. The librarians spend 10 or more hours a week just to keep up with their field and professional developement.
