Lesbrarians 12 years, 5 months agoHello all. MLIS student here. I’m hoping to be a science librarian/data curator when I get out of school. :D
-
very nice! welcome. :) any particular field or do you know how to do it all? when i was little i wanted to catalog all the stars, but i kept losing count/falling asleep.
-
I’m more of a hard sciences person (astro, physics, some geology) than a squishy sciences person. (By squishy, I mean things involving complicated organic things.) Librarianship-wise, my career goal is to be an embedded librarian, but I’d be willing to do some academic stuff first as a stepping stone.
-
ew…squishy. that’s hilarious. i’m facinated by astronomy, geology, archaeology…and a lot of the social sciences, anthropology, sociology (who can choose?!) so i started as a general reference librarian and then found out how much i loved working with teenagers. when you say embedded librarian, do you mean at a museum or institute? i think…[Read more]

Hi Kaye! I’m a student too–hopefully graduating this summer after the comps. Are you comps or thesis?
-
I’m not really sure what comps stands for, but I don’t think my program has them. We don’t have theses, either … I think we’re evaluated a bit differently. It’s mostly project-based classes and 150+ hours of interning. I’m in my first year, so graduation isn’t happening until next May-ish for me. :)
-
Lord love a duck, that’s the smart way to do it–experiential education for the win. Comps are comprehensive exams–everyone says they’re easy, but I’m terrified.
-
Experiential learning is great, and it’s very helpful for building a portfolio of work. I took an outcomes-based planning, marketing, and assessment course this semester and worked with a real library to plan a service. It was super intimidating, but nothing exploded and the library was happy with the result.
What kinds of things are in your…[Read more]

All of the above, and case studies and research methods and lots of wonderful awful things, in essay format.
That is a great project! We’ve done similar things–my very favorite class involved a three-part project that culminated in planning 52 weeks of children’s programming, with a budget of 5000$. Challenging and fun–every librarian I’ve…[Read more]

Lesbrarians 12 years, 5 months agoi’m the assistant youth services coordinator (that’s fancy talk for “teen librarian”) for an eight-library system in NC. hiya.
-
What kinds of programming do you do for teens? What kinds of public libraries are in your system?
My roommates (also MLIS) just did a group project on teen book bundles, and it seems like there are a lot of different kinds of programs to engage teen library users … just curious. :D
-
curiosity is our currency! (so, what’cha reading…) a-hem. :) my library system is county based (one main location, 4 regionals, 3 community branches) rather than city or subscription…is that what you mean by “kind”?
As for the types of programs, you name it…we have anime clubs, gaming programs, writing clubs, and Teen Advisory Groups that…[Read more]-
I want to be a teen in your library system. Just saying!

this makes my heart happy. #feelings

Lesbrarians 12 years, 5 months agoHello! Archivist and MLS student checking in! I want to do outreach to the baby homogays and queer families cause my program made me pick an underserved population and I picked the one that I thought would tweak the most noses at my Catholic university. (No noses were tweaked. They are supportive and enthusiastic.)
-
that is very cool! there’s a good professional title for teen services: Serving Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning Teens: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (http://amzn.to/mrMyDW ).
i’ve had some resistance from certain coworkers (“underserved? that’s just the kids that can’t get a ride to the library. you buy gay books,…[Read more]-
Missy–that book is the reason I got into LGBTQ outreach! It’s so well-meaning and enthusiastic.
Do you think that librarians and web 2.0 are the cutest thing ever? They’re like little kids with a cardboard box.

i LOVE cardboard boxes! *builds a fort* … *with an RSS feed for castle-storming updates*
