| contents | Veterans Speak Out Freedman, Jenna Academic Libraries Librarians Interviews Research Libraries Reference Services Library Science There's a lot of focus on the "Next Gen" librarians out there bringing a youth perspective that's supposed to shake things up and introducing new ideas and practices into a profession that sometimes moves forward at a glacial pace. But the ideas of the new generation do not invalidate the work done by those who came before. In fact, change in libraries tends to be a lot more evolutionary than revolutionary. There's just no substitute for experience--logging the years to see it all, gaining knowledge through surviving mistakes--and the confidence experience gives. In this article, the author interviews librarians who have a minimum of 20 years as a librarian, with between five and 35 of those years served in an academic library. They are: (1) Marylaine Block; (2) Kate Corby; (3) Sha Fagan; (4) Barbara Fister; (5) Kathleen de la Pena McCook; (6) Patricia Glass Schuman; (7) Theresa Tobin; and (8) Bob Wolven. In this interview, the author asks these librarians a number of questions including the same ones posed by Scott Carlson in his article "Young Librarians, Talkin' 'Bout Their Generation," in "The Chronicle of Higher Education" (10/19/07). |
