Librarian to the Stars idea offers opportunity
A New York Times article “Librarian to the Stars” is a delightful article on a New York Public Library librarian that highlights the benefits and fun of what we do. You can read the article at http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/31/arts/31rese.html?pagewanted=print
This article is a great example of the power of personal stories and how what we do impacts other people and the goals and vision of our institutions. It also is a strong testament to being proactive, outgoing and getting the library out into the lives of our users. Are you collecting these stories from your institution? Are you sharing them with your users and your administration? Are you willing to share them with others? Please send any stories from your experiences that you are willing to share to Barb Jones at jonesbarb@health.missouri.edu. (bbj, bk)
