ABSTRACT
One of the most significant characteristics of disjunctive librarianship is that its advocates are not out to change the world, or even to convert other librarians to our point of view. Unfortunately just as the alternative librarians seem to have preempted other aspects of librarianship so they seem, sometimes, to have pre-empted library humor. Fortunately there is another group of librarians who, while a much smaller minority, do offer a real alternative. They may write what sometimes passes for humor but behind it there always lurks an element of deadly seriousness. Their humor is designed as satire intended to help bring about change.
