Cultural Images of Librarians
http://www.tk421.net/essays/nwyt.pdf Cultural Images of Librarians Librarian stereotypes in popular culture support the image of a librarian as a shushing school marm who does little more than stamp and shelve books. Maybe that’s all you’ve seen librarians do. However, this perception is about as inaccurate as believing that Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan is nothing more than a glorified bank teller. |

Competing in a Google world
http://www1.curriculum.edu.au/scis/connections/2007/61google.htm Competing in a Google world How can the library compete in a world where the reflex reaction to any query that starts with 'who, what, when, where' is 'Google it!'?

Librarians : Conditions of Service
http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos068.htm The traditional concept of a library is being redefined from a place to access paper records or books to one that also houses the most advanced media, including CD-ROM, the Internet, virtual libraries, and remote access to a wide range of resources. Consequently, librarians, or information professionals, increasingly are combining traditional duties with tasks involving quickly changing technology.

http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/newbies.htm Advice and Information for New Librarians Every summer LM_NET receives, from librarians who have just been hired for their first libray job, questions like OK, I've got the Job, Now what do I do.? Over the years there have been some excellent answers, below is a sampling of what can be found in the LM_NET archives. (http://www.eduref.org/lm_net/archive/). I used these search terms: "new librarian", newbies, and survival. "New librarian" returns more than 600 hits but, I only examined the first 100 since they are ranked by relevance. Survival returns both librarian survival advice and wilderness survival books, but the list is not too long. |
