How many academic librarians are needed to change a light bulb? Six - to form a committee and hold meetings to decide the best way to change it, then nominate one person to get the job done.

This is something that I read many moons ago but couldn't understand until I work in an academic library. Yes, it's true. Some committees meet all the time but nothing ever happens after the meeting. Others meet irregularly but still get a lot done via email communication. If I had not braced myself by reading up on articles wrriten by experienced librarians,  I would think that I'm in a library twilight zone!
