[CALIBK12] General introduction to school libraries - Humor!

[ladewig]

I'd guess in 1960-63 they WERE very busy "Behind the Scenes at the Library."
Busy typing and filing cards in the card catalog, explaining the wonders of
the Periodical Literature indexes, printing out (by hand) the titles and
publishers of recent acquisitions in the ledgers, loading the Kodak
Carousels with slide shows, teaching patrons how to use the cutting-edge
technology of microfiche, putting out new books on display like "Someday
We'll Have a Man on the Moon" - all very helpful stuff to know nowadays . .
.

 

You couldn't find anything more current Richard?!  ;-)

 

(Heck, if only I'd saved that moon book - it would really be worth something
on eBay!)

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark.

Librarians in Children's Literature, 1909-2000
by: Elaine Yontz, Valdosta State University, Valdosta, GA, USA
Published in:  The Reference Librarian, Volume 37, Issue 78 March 2003 ,
pages 85 - 96
Abstract:    The presentations of librarians in thirty-five children's books
published between 1909 and 2000 in the United States were described,
compared, and analyzed to discover indications of attitudes and beliefs
about librarians and to discern evidence of changing roles within the
profession of librarianship. In regard to gender and ethnicity, most of the
librarians depicted are female and Caucasian, including those in books from
recent decades. 
    Consistency in work tasks of librarians is seen throughout the century,
but the tools used to perform the work show consistent evolution. Librarians
emerge as caring, friendly, and energetic professionals who have positive
interactions and relationships with patrons.

I have been asked for a book recommendation by someone who wants a good,
general introduction to all the pieces of our job. Is there one book that
includes all of the essential pieces (circulation, reference, cataloging,
etc.)?

 

In looking through my own library, I have many good books, but they tend to
be only on reference, only on cataloging, etc.
