Library school taught us many things about being a librarian. However, the field is always changing, and there are new things that we'd never dream were going to be part of our job descriptions when we started studying for our MLS/MLIS. There are also things that we probably should have been taught, but somehow or another, those things slipped through the cracks in the education system. And then there are the un-teachable things, the interactions and personal experiences that shape how we view the world and our profession. In this blog, myself and other librarians hope to chronicle some of these experiences to help current and future librarians be prepared for the road ahead. Also, everybody needs to vent and have a good laugh about what they do for a living, and this can be the place for that also. If you've got an experience you'd like to share, let us know, because we'd love for this to become a collective blog, widening the breadth and deepening the depth of what we can teach and learn.
All photos used in the blog were taken by the authors of the blog posts, unless otherwise noted. In which case, they were probably stolen from google image search. Because let's be honest: we'll ask you not to use our pictures without permission, but we know they're online, where copyright doesn't mean anything unless you've got a multi-billion-dollar company to back you up.
