In the spirit of recognizing the many people who make up Cornell University Library, the staff created a video — complete with a musical performance by Cornell's own a capella sensation, the Chordials — for the annual National Library Workers Day on April 10.

To all the catalogers, technical services staff, student assistants, security guards, systems engineers, circulation staff, web designers, reference librarians, program coordinators and the many more who make Cornell University Library superb... happy National Library Workers Day!

Complete song lyrics:

Librarians
da da dada da da dada da da dada da da

Here's to Librarians
da da dada da da dada da da dada da da

Oh what you do all year it is quite clear
provide the facts -- you are Utilitarian Librarians

Heaven help us if you weren't there to field our questions,
We might wander the stacks forever
To find books on Rastafarians
da da dada da da dada da da dada da da
Or Non-sectarians
da da dada da da dada da da dada da da

Whether it's face-to-face or through e-mail
Your patron interactions are Egalitarian not Barbarian

Catalogers agree that the rules are changing
RDA will bring rearranging
Requiring a good librarian
da da dada da da dada da da dada da da
Who's a disciplinarian

da da dada da da dada da da dada da da

With new technologies coming faster
These technologies
Will continue to CHANGE the library in SO many dif-fer-ent ways
Who can say the part libraries will play

From I-L-L to course re-serves
You're still required to be Humanitarian Librarians

From Public Ser-vi-ces to Circul-a-a-tion
Having to deal with students always on the run
and covering subjects starting with Agrarian

to Veterinarian
da da dada da da dada da da dada da da
That's a librarian
