Juanita and Colleen scored big with the new issue of NewBreed Librarian, as they have published some cool research by Deirdre Dupre, which finds that librarians are overconcerned with their image and status given the actual perceptions of the public.

Hi Everyone,
Colleen and I have just posted the August edition of NewBreed Librarian.
This month you\’ll find < http://www.newbreedlibrarian.org/current/ >:
FEATURE
The Perception of Image and Status in the Library Profession by
Deirdre Dupri
During a conversation between Juanita and the author at our poster
session at ALA, Deirdre brought up her research, which centers on the
self-defeating ways librarians perpetuate professional anxiety over less
than satisfactory status and preoccupy themselves with the image much more
than the outside perception of librarians warrants. We invited Deirdre to
share her research with you.
INTERVIEW
Joanna Kroll, Career Services Coordinator at the University of
Michigan\’s School of Information, tells us about what she does, provides
some real life examples, talks about who is hiring recent grads, and
advises on how to seek new challenges and directions for those of us
already in the field. If you don\’t know all that your career center can do
for you: read this interview. It may help you find and secure that first
job, or perhaps look for another one.
PEOPLE
Richard Heinzkill is a friend, colleague, and mentor to both of us. He
shares advice for new librarians gleaned from 30 years as a librarian.
ASK SUSU
Susu, our sometimes irreverent advice columnist, answers your questions
about work, school, the job hunt, and librarianship in general. In this
issue, Susu advises on … well, let\’s just say she advises.
TECH TALK
Moaning, lost profiles, and deviant formats: mama never told me it was
gonna rain like this.
———————
Tech Talk was especially a fun write-up, we love Richard, someone set
herself up in Ask Susu, Deirdre writes a somewhat controversial feature
article, and Joanna Kroll provides great advice as a Career Services
Coordinator.
Enjoy,
Juanita
