Something interesting from today’s “American Libraries Direct” email:
Librarians and other library staff are encouraged to participate in this project: “A Day in the Life of a Library.” Simply blog about what you do every day, then post the URL of your blog to the project’s wiki (so everyone can find your blog.) As the organizers say, “it’s a great way for students who are interested in the library profession to see what we really do.”
I think it would be great if a bunch of “library technicians” and “library assistants” participated. Let the world see what “paraprofessionals” or “nonprofessional” library staff do all day! After all, we vastly outnumber the “real librarians.”
At the time I checked the wiki, there were 28 people signed up — and only 2 with job titles that don’t sound like MLS-holders. So we should all throw in our 2 cents worth!
