Abstract

Perhaps because the LA Yearbook does not reveal birthdates the profession of Librarianship has been spared the astrological analyses of Gauquelin and certain quality newspapers. In a spirit of scientific enquiry to test the predictive validity of sun‐signs, the following grotesque professional caricatures are presented. Anyone who recognises themselves, or perhaps a colleague, should write to Monsieur G, indicating whether their astrological sign matches their stereotype, or hopefully not. By such means the pernicious practice of stereotyping, of which astrology is one of the oldest may be exposed.
