A blub from my roving librarianship research:
Wait, no, I take it all back. I'm probably just being too cynical I've been told that's a problem of mine. 
There are probably plenty of students who could be trusted to walk around the library offering all kinds of helpful help. I'm also trying to convince myself that this retail model these librarians are so excited about is delightful. Maybe imitating Wal-Mart in the library is really a GREAT THING, and it'll become a HOT TREND. And then maybe all the librarians could start wearing matching cheap polyester shirts with name tags and working split shifts and having their benefits taken away.
But try as I might to squash that little cynic, it still whispers in my ear, "If they like Wal-Mart so much, why don't they just go work there, and leave the academic library for scholars."
