Please don't give them any more ideas for shit to tack on to job requirements for librarian positions paying $30K a year. I can see it now:

Reference Librarian opening at Lackamoney Univ. Required for the position: a master's degree from an ALA-accredited institution. Five years' experience in an academic library with absolutely no support from faculty or the administration. A second master's degree in an esoteric liberal arts topic. Fluency in Olde Mongolian and German. Practical experience with spinning straw into gold. Ability to work 15-hour days. Commercial driver's license and three years' experience driving 18-wheelers.
