摘要
The rhetorical construction of place plays a central role in librarians' identity repertoires. As librarians construct their professional identity, they use the rhetorical device of metonym to refer to themselves as the "library.'' This metonymic slippage allows librarians to lay claim to the library as their exclusive professional domain.
