Interviewing as Seen from Both Sides of the Table Speakers: Robert Perret and Nancy J. Young (University of Idaho) Moderator: Lindsay Wyatt Empire Conference Room The interview process is of the utmost importance to both potential employees and the hiring institution, yet it has rarely been examined as a complete experience. The University of Idaho was recently in the position of hiring five librarians in just twelve months, which has given our institution a unique insight into the hiring process – from both sides of the table! We conducted an anonymous survey of the members of the hiring committees and the new UI librarians to discover the practical concerns surrounding the interview process. We discovered what hiring committees really look for, what impresses candidates the most, and the sometimes surprising subjects on which they may not agree at all! This presentation is an unusual look behind the curtain of the hiring process – both the good and the bad – which will interest job seekers and hiring libraries alike. |

[4C] Perceptions of a Profession: How
Librarians are Embracing or Challenging Stereotypes through Self-Created Online Videos Speaker: Ramirose Attebury (University of Idaho) Moderator: Lindsay Wyatt Washington Conference Room In an article investigating how librarians are depicted in the mass media, Maura Seal identifies five categories into which the majority of representations fall: the old maid librarian, the policeman librarian, the librarian as parody, the inept librarian, and the hero/ine librarian. The rise of YouTube has facilitated another avenue for public expression of the roles that librarians are perceived to play in society. Unlike prior representations of librarians in mass media, however, which have been largely controlled by non-librarians, the increased opportunities for amateur video distribution on sites like YouTube have allowed librarians themselves to decide how they are portrayed. This presentation investigates whether librarians tend to conform to the stereotypes common in prior mass media representations or if they are seeking to reshape and improve their image via this new medium. Included in this analysis are videos produced by librarians, both as spoofs and promotional material, and videos produced by non-librarians. |
