Description of librarian

I was doing some research and ran across this entry in the Ocupational Outlook Handbook on librarians. I thought this sentence under Working Conditions was telling of our modern setting:

Librarians spend a significant portion of time at their desks or in front of computer terminals; extended work at video display terminals can cause eyestrain and headaches.

Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2006-07 Edition, Librarians, on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos068.htm (visited November 29, 2007).
