Go Forth
Community is easy, change is difficult

Successes and/or failures won’t define you, your principles will.
Stop thinking about “the job,” and start thinking about the work you want to do.
The problem isn't library school, but the structures that hold it up.
What if…?
Library Student Bill of Rights, Char Booth, 2008
There is a widening gulf between what we are taught and what we actually do… systemic reform of the MILS curriculum is critical if libraries are to survive… I leave it up to the faculty and administrators of the library school world to do something about it.
“librarians, regardless of their chosen information specialization or information institution, like academic librarianship or public librarianship, are all connected by the same principles, and can enact positive change by uniting around these principles.”
Big Tent Library School
And that’s what library school is. It brings together people who have a belief in the power of information, and gives us the tools and the ideas to do something concrete with that belief. How we choose to do it may look very different in the end, but that passion for information is a thread that unites us.
