Was gefällt Ihnen am Bibliothekswesen?

Priscilla Shontz, Herausgeberin und Autorin von Büchern wie "A Day in the Life: Career Options in Library and Information Science" und "The Librarian's Career Guidebook", sucht Input für eine neue Publikation - im Konkreten Antworten auf folgende Fragen:

(1) Why did you become a librarian or information professional?

(2) What do you enjoy most about being in this field? (ie, variety, schedules, continuing your own education, helping others, research, etc.) Please include examples if possible.

(3) Do you feel you help others, or make an impact, through your work? If so, how?

(4) What is a funny or odd thing you've encountered in your work? (I'm interested in hearing funny anecdotes about "real life" at your job.)

(5) What would you advise a library school student to do or learn before he/she graduates? What advice would you give someone considering this profession?

Gesucht sind "quick, anecdotal responses" bis 31. August 2009 an pshontz (at) liscareer.com. - Hinweis aus dem LISCareer-Weblog.
