Assignment 11: Interview a Librarian. Due Apr 25.
Interview a professional
librarian.
Find out about that individual's values, motivation,
priorities, and sense of the technical, political, social, and economic
issues being faced. Ask what advice he or she woudl give to someone
contemplating becoming a librarian.
Feel free to add your own comments to your account of the interview.
It makes sense to talk to some person who would be a useful
source of information for the type of library you think you
might want to work in,
but that is not a requirement.
Send an e-mail note with two paragraphs -- one about the
person you talked with and the other a brief summary of
what you learned -- to is285@sims.berkeley.edu
Also a written summary (approx. 2 pages single-spaced) to me.
