Rachel writes “Hi all — I’m working on a book on alternative careers for librarians, and am looking for input from folks who have pursued nontraditional paths. Please see the survey questions posted at The Liminal Librarian, and feel free to distribute widely:
http://www.lisjobs.com/liminal/2007/03/alternative -careers-survey.html
I’m interested in hearing from a broad variety of people, including: those who have embarked on a new career after working for some time in libraries, those who earned an MLS but never worked in a traditional library setting, those who pursue alternative opportunities as a supplement to a traditional library career, those who work in a traditional setting but do nontraditional work, and those who do library work in nontraditional settings. Basically, if you think you might have/had some sort of nontraditional career, I’d love to hear from you!
Thanks, — Rachel”
Librarians are librarians
Half your luck! I don’t there are any alternative careers for librarians. I think libarians are stuck where they are: as librarians in a library.
