Once again, a patron declaring that they're going to ask a weird question fails to make their question even slightly weird.
Sigh.

* How to become a librarian (for English majors)
* We have books for that! (figure drawing)
* You can check out as many books as you can carry

chatgpt has fully broken-through to every facet of the corporate environment. I'm spending a not-insignificant amount of my time every week now explaining to people that just because chatgpt told you that something was possible doesn't mean that it a) is or b) even exists

Fighting library misinformation, one campus tour at a time:
1. Librarians don't help you write your papers. We help with research.
2. No, you can't check out the skeletons for Halloween.
3. No, we don't have every textbook used on campus.
