Title: Introducing Your Librarian
Creators: Holderman, Sharon (Director, Ohio State ATI Library)
Keywords: librarian job stereotype
Issue Date: Aug-2009
Publisher: The Ohio State University Libraries
Series/Report no.: The Ohio State University Digital Storytelling Program. Workshop at Agricultural Technical Institute (ATI). August 2009
Abstract: Many people define someone's personality by their job. Considering the common stereotypes surrounding librarians, this is not always a positive perception for me. I created this video to demonstrate that I am multi-dimensional and not only a stereotypical librarian.
