Rebranding librarianship: what do you think?
Friday, May 4th, 2007Brendan Gallagher, a participant in Leslie Berger’s Emerging Leaders Initiative, posted to the Mentors, Masters, Leaders blog today about the survey that’s been making the rounds through various digital venues:
I’m one of the ALA Emerging Leaders this year, and I’m part of a work team that is looking at options for “rebranding the library profession in the digital world.” We’ve decided to survey as broad a spectrum of library professionals as possible in order to see what we think of ourselves.
This survey is part of Project KK. You can read more about the project and other projects on the ALA Emerging Leaders wiki. I’ve seen the survey mentioned on Twitter, in emails, in IM chats, and on blogs, and I’m hoping that ALA will actually post a link to it from the ALA home page, which would make a lot of sense and increase the outreach of such an important request for feedback.
Click here to take the survey, and definitely come back and tell us what you think about the idea of rebranding librarianship, what it will mean to public libraries, and about the survey itself.
