\"rebeccatischler\"<\/a>1) 5 Things That People Don\u2019t Realize their Librarians Do\u00a0<\/strong> <\/a>by Rebecca Tischler<\/em><\/p>\n

“Many people still have the stereotypical image of a librarian stuck in their head: an older kind of frumpy woman wearing glasses on a chain, her hair up in a bun, shushing people with one hand while stamping books with the other. Many of my Jr. High classmates predicted that I was going to be a librarian because I liked to read, and, during those years, I was very quiet and wore glasses. I still love to read and always have something to read, but since I\u2019m much more comfortable with myself, I don\u2019t know if people would still say that I look like a librarian. Ironically, I did become a librarian, but for completely different reasons (part of it is the sheer variety involved in the profession).”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"NaomiHouse<\/a>2) Why I Quit My Library Job\u00a0and Why I No Longer Want One<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Naomi House, MLIS<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

“I have worked in libraries for the last ten years but as of December 2013 I have been working only outside of libraries doing my other job, renovating and selling old houses, and forming a new partnership.\u00a0 I have mentioned before<\/a> that in October 2013 I lost my job as the Reference, Acquisitions and Marketing Librarian at a federal library during the government shutdown<\/a>.\u00a0 I was not just furloughed; our contract was not renewed.\u00a0 It came as a surprise and I hold no-one in particular to blame, the furlough made a mess for everyone in our process of renewal.\u00a0 I was a government contractor<\/a> and appreciate all the efforts of my company, other librarians in our field advocating for us, as well as the fantastic government employees who resolved everything swiftly and had us all hired back within the month.\u00a0 Truly everyone went to bat not only for our collection but for our jobs and I have nothing to say but good things for the resolution.\u00a0 So yes, I lost my job but was rehired within a month.<\/em>

\"sarah.deringer\"<\/a>3) Respectfully Declining a Job Offer\u00a0<\/strong><\/a> by Sarah Deringer<\/em><\/p>\n

“There are times when you cannot accept a job offer. Whether it is because you do not feel like you fit into the culture, the job does not fit into your life goals, or the salary or benefits are not enough, you need to know how to respectfully decline a job offer. You don\u2019t want to burn bridges when you decline<\/strong>; you just want to say, \u201cI\u2019m sorry I can\u2019t accept.\u201d It can be difficult for those, like me, who do not like being put into situations where you could hurt someone\u2019s feelings. So, here are some tips on declining a job offer without stepping on toes, burning bridges, and breaking hearts.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"alexiss\"<\/a>4) “Why do you need a master\u2019s degree to be a librarian?\u201d<\/strong><\/a> by Alexis Stapp<\/em><\/p>\n

Crowdsourcing an answer for an irritating question: “Recently, I went to a party attended largely by librarians and\/or friends from library school.\u00a0 Several of us were discussing the minor annoyances of our respective jobs and one friend asked what everyone\u2019s response is when we get that dreaded question: \u201cWhy do you need a master\u2019s degree to be a librarian?\u201d\u00a0 (This often goes hand in hand with that other cringe-worthy exchange, \u201cYou\u2019re going to school to be a librarian?\u00a0 So what do you do?\u00a0 Learn how to alphabetize?\u201d)\u00a0 Sadly, all of us stood there, scratching our heads, hemming and hawing.\u00a0 No one seemed to have a ready answer.\u00a0 Oh, we all had the sarcastic answers: \u201cBecause we made it that way,\u201d \u201cHonestly, you don\u2019t, but it means we can get paid more,\u201d etc. but obviously nothing that really validates our education and our position.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"aimeegraham\"<\/a>7) Debunking 10 Librarian Misconceptions<\/a>\u00a0 <\/strong>by Aimee Graham<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Whether I have physically been in a library, running errands, talking to family and friends, or during social events I have been presented with a similar series of questions when I inform others that I am a librarian. It\u2019s unfortunate that such a stereotype (you know what I\u2019m talking about) still exists in today\u2019s age, so I am debunking the myths that come with our profession.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"MaryMichelleMoore\"<\/a>8) What to write after they\u2019ve turned you down<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Mary-Michelle Moore<\/em><\/p>\n

“While many sites offer advice on how to write cover letters, the pre-interview follow up letter and the\u00a0thank you for the interview letter among others, the post-rejection thank you does not get much press.\u00a0Why?<\/strong> Perhaps because it is the one letter you always hope you won\u2019t have to write. Why should you\u00a0write a thank you letter to a library that just rejected you? Well, for one, it is polite. Another reason is\u00a0the library community can be strongly interconnected and you don\u2019t know who may be willing to refer\u00a0you to connections as a strong candidate for another opening. Lastly, you may want to apply in the\u00a0future for that library, or to work with that director, and it is best not to burn bridges. Just because you\u00a0were not their first choice this time does not mean that you are not a desirable candidate or that they\u00a0will not consider you in the future.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"hollylipschultz\"<\/a>9)\u00a0 18 Tips for Writing a Manual for Work<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Holly Lipschultz<\/em><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m one of those Hermione-types of people who read manuals. If I need to learn something, my first order of business is to read the manual. Give me a job manual, and I\u2019ll read by tomorrow morning. And if there is no manual or no instructions\u2014I will write one.<\/em><\/p>\n

So, I suppose it shouldn\u2019t be a surprise that I found myself in the situation of creating a full-on Circulation manual for our student workers. We had a lot of old documentation that needed updating, scattered around our staff web. We also had a lot of useful information scattered around both the staff web, the library\u2019s official website, and my work computer left by my predecessors. And a great deal of things were not written down anywhere. Institutional memory can be very powerful\u2026and overwhelming to a new person.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"holly<\/a>10) Your Unofficial Guide to Socializing at the ALA Annual Conference 2014<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Holly Boyer<\/em><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m a big proponent of socializing at conferences. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I love attending the sessions and\u00a0learning new things and seeing what great things librarians around the world are doing. But socializing\u00a0gives you a chance to know individual people, to network in ways that you just can\u2019t while sitting in a\u00a0banquet chair in an auditorium. Below I\u2019ve listed a variety of social events, many of which can be found\u00a0on the ALA Annual Conference<\/a> Scheduler. Also check out the Networking Uncommons<\/a>. There is usually\u00a0something interesting going on, and if not, you can always charge all your devices.<\/em><\/p>\n

Pick an event and go to it. Most of them are free. Some of them are during the day if you\u2019re not a party\u00a0person. Go forth and find your people.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"rebeccavogler\"<\/a>12) The Skinny on Cruise Ship Librarianship<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Rebecca Vogler Splain<\/em><\/p>\n

“If you\u2019ve been around INALJ.com<\/a> since the beginning of last year, you may remember a couple of Success Stories that were written about newly minted MLIS graduates going to work as a cruise ship librarian.\u00a0 One was written about me<\/a>.\u00a0 That article, plus a couple of comments on LinkedIn, brought me in contact with far more people who were interested in cruise ship librarianship than I ever imagined.\u00a0 For many, it\u2019s a dream job!\u00a0 So many romanticize the position (and, yes, it does have its perks), but I also wanted to give a truthful account of what work on a cruise ship really is like.\u00a0 Here are the 10 things you didn\u2019t know about being a cruise ship librarian.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"INALJ<\/a>13)\u00a0 So I had another miscarriage<\/a>\u00a0 <\/strong>by Naomi House, MLIS<\/a><\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trigger warning : “You may be wondering why I am sharing this very personal information on my<\/strong> LIS and libraries job hunting website. Job hunting, volunteer work, everything I am working on and put time and energy into are affected by my health. I have taken strength from the many LIS people I follow on Twitter and am friends with on Facebook who share their own personal health struggles. I find silence and keeping this to myself to be harmful to my health. When I announced my first pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage<\/a> last October on INALJ and Facebook I learned more from others who I knew but had not realized had been through miscarriages too than any book or database could teach me. Their stories gave me comfort and let me know more about the range of experiences. This time I most likely will not have to go to the emergency room (I\u2019ve had 3 miscarriages in 13 months and 3 ER visits which are very expensive). I can do this taking medicine in the privacy of my home. I have the bestest doctors here in New Orleans, truly, but Louisiana is one of the uncooperative states with the ACA so my premiums and coverage stink. But boy are the doctors here super \ud83d\ude42 You never read about the pain, migraines, weeks of bleeding. The way your body just fights you and is unrecognizable.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Kahn_Natalie\"<\/a>14) Why I Turned Down my First Professional Library Job Offer<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> by Natalie Kahn<\/em><\/p>\n

“They offered me the job. I haven\u2019t even received my MLIS in the mail yet, but a small\u00a0college has offered me the HEAD Librarian position. They offer a little more money,\u00a0fine benefits, and the seemingly limitless opportunity to explore every and any aspect\u00a0of librarianship my newly-graduated heart desires: creating information literacy classes,\u00a0cataloging, collection development policy drafting, and perhaps even starting a volunteer\u00a0program to give student patrons real work experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you why I didn\u2019t accept their offer.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I hung up the phone, I wanted badly to take the position for all of the reasons listed\u00a0above, but I needed to consider a couple things first. Well, really I had to consider a million\u00a0things, but it boiled down to two things: risk and regret.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"kiersten<\/a>15)\u00a0 10 Inspiring Pinterest Collections Created by Libraries and Librarians<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Kiersten Bryant<\/em><\/p>\n

“Something that I have realized while job searching is that there are a lot of interesting places that information professionals can use their skills \u2013 places that I had never heard of or knew existed. I have discovered many of these places on Pinterest. Pinterest can be used as a resource for discovering and researching places to work and to get a feel for the culture of the workplace in a particular institution or department. Just search for \u201clibrary\u201d under \u201cPinners\u201d on Pinterest and you\u2019ll be amazed at how many libraries, museums, and publishers come up.<\/em><\/p>\n

“One of the great things about being a librarian is that you tend to know how to conduct research better than most people out there \u2013 this is particularly important if you are researching for opportunities, locations, salaries, benefits, health conditions, etc. Use those skills wisely and efficiently as you are searching or negotiating for your positions.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"leigh.milligan\"<\/a>18) Open Cover Letters<\/strong><\/a> by Leigh Milligan<\/em><\/p>\n

“One of my favorite websites that gives me motivation during my job search is called Open Cover Letters<\/a>.<\/strong> This website is a collection of anonymous cover letters submitted by hired librarians and archivists. Each cover letter is titled by the position that the anonymous person wrote the cover letter for.\u00a0 The website even breaks down the letters into categories such as the different types of libraries.\u00a0 This all is extremely helpful, especially when I am looking for motivation to apply to a specific type of library job, for example, Youth Services.<\/em><\/p>\n

How do I know these letters are legit? The creator of the website Stephen Flynn looks into each letter he receives and makes sure the librarian was hired at said job<\/strong> by a Google search or by checking an e-mail address. Check the FAQ<\/a> out more information about the website.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"SarahRoarkSchottINALJ\"<\/a>19)\u00a0\u00a0 My Experience Leaving the MLS off My Resume<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 by Sarah Roark Schott<\/em><\/p>\n

“I decided to start a new resume from scratch, leaving off my MLS and many of the extra accomplishments I have made during the past few years. (These include courses I have developed and professional activities I have participated in.) I shortened the project and job descriptions for each of my library and archive positions, and added retail and serving jobs dating back to 2003. The new resume is a page long, the right length for many hiring managers to get an idea of your experience at a quick glance.<\/em><\/p>\n

I applied for around 12 or 15 jobs with the new resume in a wide variety of fields \u2013 department store retail, coffee shops, office work, and entry level school library media specialist positions. I made sure my archive and library experience translated well to fit the job post descriptions, and used the appropriate language.<\/em><\/p>\n

A week after my article was posted I got a call from a department store manager who received my online application (sans resume).<\/strong> The manager was interested in my online responses and called to discuss my education and work history. Nervous, I accidentally blurted out that I had received my BA and MA from the University of Arizona. Unfortunately that slip up changed the conversation immediately.”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Clare<\/a>20)\u00a0 Dealing with Imposter Syndrome and Feeling Like You Belong<\/strong><\/a> by Clare Sobotka<\/em><\/p>\n

“As it turns out, these feelings are so\u00a0common that they are known as imposter syndrome.<\/strong> I came across the term sometime last year, and\u00a0once I understood what imposter syndrome was about, I felt more confident that some of my feelings\u00a0of insecurity stemmed from this particular mental phenomenon rather than a real mismatch with my\u00a0job. I wish someone had told me about imposter syndrome at the beginning of college, so I think there\u00a0is merit in becoming familiar with the concept sooner rather than later. Perhaps you will recognize it in\u00a0yourself!<\/em><\/p>\n

So what is imposter syndrome? Generally speaking, it is the feeling that you aren\u2019t cut out for the\u00a0position you are in, that you are a fraud and don\u2019t know what you are doing, and that you will be found\u00a0out. Even though you are competent, you feel as if others will discover that you accidentally arrived in\u00a0this role and really shouldn\u2019t be performing the job. It can manifest itself in other ways: chalking up your\u00a0success to luck or discounting your own success (you didn\u2019t really put in that much effort).”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"laurenbourdages\"<\/a>21)\u00a0 An open letter to my fellow job hunters for when you get discouraged<\/strong><\/a> by Lauren Bourdages<\/em><\/p>\n

“First and foremost know this, if you are actively searching, and you are doing things like volunteering, participating in professional associations, or working part-time or on contract: you are accomplishing something. You\u2019re not sitting around passively, you\u2019re not bemoaning your situation or finding someone or something to blame. Pat yourself on the back for that. It\u2019s important to acknowledge that trying is the first step to succeeding. If you know you\u2019re doing everything in your power to make yourself a top-notch candidate then you\u2019re on the right track.<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember that success and happiness don\u2019t look the same for everyone and that the definitions can change on a day to day basis.<\/strong> You may not have a full time job yet, but are you truly happy with the things you do every day? Do they make you smile? If so recognise and acknowledge that because happiness and fulfillment are just as important. I know what you\u2019re thinking, what about the paycheque!?”<\/em><\/p>\n

\"rebeccatischler\"<\/a>23) The 8 Best Reader\u2019s Advisory Websites<\/strong><\/a> by Rebecca Tischler<\/em><\/p>\n

“As librarians, we\u2019re supposed to be familiar with all of the books so that we can make\u00a0recommendations, share new books and introduce our patrons to all these new and spectacular\u00a0stories. The only problem with that is that there is no time to read all of these wonderful books. So\u00a0we need to find other ways to be able to make recommendations without having read the books we\u2019re\u00a0recommending. Once of the best ways to do this is to use various book recommendation websites\u00a0where you can browse through the reviews and thoughts of all those people who have read the books.\u00a0So to help you out, here\u2019s my list of the 8 best book recommendation websites, whether to help your\u00a0patrons or yourself to find a new book.”<\/em><\/p>\n
