Relevant Links & Librarian News

March 31st, 2010 laurenpressley Comments off

I’ve not been posting here as much as I’d hoped, for a number of reasons, but I wanted to keep this space as a useful place to share librarian related news for those considering the field. So, I’m going to begin posting links and citations to places on the web talking about getting into the field. The first link:

Holly Schindler’s Conversation With a Local Teen Librarian

In it, she talked about finding out about librarianship from an ALA website and about what her life is like now that she’s in the teen librarian position. Good stuff!

If you are attracted to becoming a librarian, you will find answers to a lot of your questions here:

  • What do librarians do?
  • What are the different types of libraries and professional jobs in libraries?
  • What is the story behind the profession?
  • What are librarians all about and what hot issues do they discuss in their professional lives?

This book is an essential introduction to the profession for people who are at the point of choosing a career.

I’ll also be doing a book signing at the Library Juice Press booth at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago on Sunday, July 12th, at 10am. Stop by and say hi! I’ll be in booth 1637 in the Exhibits Hall at the convention center.
