NMRT (New Members Round Table)

Good day everyone,

The NMRT Online Discussion Form Committee's November topic is Promoting Librarianship as a Career Path.

When I was younger, I remember during career day, we always had a librarian visit to tell us about her occupation and furthermore, we always took an annual visit to libraries around the community to learn how libraries function.  I also remembered several librarians on tv such as Rupert Giles from Buffy and Barbara Gordon.  However, I don't witness many librarians now making their rounds & informing students of their career choice and nor have I witnessed anyone requesting librarians to present librarianship as a career path.  Take a look at your library website, is the role defined? Is there any information promoting librarianship as a career path? Or is there a how do I become a librarian link?  When was the last time you heard a child aspire to become a librarian? Do you as a librarian, feel forgotten or overlooked by other occupations?

This brings about the discussion, how can we as librarians or informational professionals, better promote and advocate our chosen career path, especially in younger generations?  Given the ever-evolving role of librarians and the need for more funding, it seems promoting librarianship as a career path is ever more important.

Please share your experiences. I look forward to having some thoughtful discussion and possibly  find some innovate solutions.
