Not Your Ordinary Librarian

There is more to librarians than meets the eye, but librarians often struggle to combat common perceptions about their images and profession. Not Your Ordinary Librarian: Debunking the Popular Perceptions of Librarians helps librarians discredit common myths and misperceptions about their roles, exploring the origins of popular images of librarians in the media and beyond. The book also describes the effects of these stereotypes and examines the ways in which modern professionals can challenge them.
