omg, i never saw this thread the first time around. i was actually IN library school in 02.
i got my MLS from the university of maryland college of information studies and have always worked in "special libraries." i prefer to stay in my office cataloging, playing on the internet, or dealing with the electronic resources (subscription databases, etc). i now work in a law library but spent the early part of my career at a major national nonprofit.
even though now it's the "iSchool" and people are pressed to call themselves anything but, i love called a librarian. it's a great conversation starter and (in my opinion) less pretentious than information architect, search guru, research maven, or any of those other nonsense things people like to be called.
