One who keeps records so they survive and can be found. The archivist's work is judged by what is still there in a hundred years.

The Greek goddess of wisdom and craft, born already whole from thought. Names this house's Library — the realm where what is known is kept in order to be given away.

One who knows the way and goes with you, and the document that does the same. A guide accompanies rather than directs.

One who keeps a collection so others can find what they need in it. The librarian's work is retrieval, not ownership.

Why a thing is so, and the faculty that works such things out. Both the ground and the tool for finding it.

Knowing which knowledge applies now. Wisdom is judgment about knowing rather than more of it.
