Alas that sometimes (not all the time) the customer is a stuck-up unfeeling tyrant.
(A library but not a librarian, me -- but having tasted grad school and its pains in another context, I empthasize).

The most useful things I learned in library school weren't theoretical. But I did actually use some of the skills I picked up in taking classes in online searching. Granted, that material could have been learned outside a degree program. If you are going to go into technical services, especially cataloging, there is a lot of detail-oriented training you need to pick up. If you are going to go into reference work, it's useful to be familiar with major information sources for several subjects, before going on the market as a librarian.

I dog-ear my books. I don't think a librarian would do that.

I do consider myself a librarian, but my local library does not agree with that self-assessment for reasons that are unclear to me.
