I stumbled on a couple interesting papers while looking for something else the other day.
Tamar Kirschner wrote an interesting paper that takes a A Look at librarian stereotypes.
\” Their professional sense of purpose carries over into the human beings they are outside of work, which is probably why it is the only professional stereotype that does not suggest an element of exploitation of others.\”
Richard A. Danner wrote Redefining a Profession that discusses technology and its impact on our little profession.
\”…without attention, foresight, and the willingness to take advantage of these capabilities, librarians could find that market forces alone will control and limit the future development of the profession.\”
He has 194 references on this one!
