So You Want To Be a Librarian...

NOTE: the title of this video is a play on the old Library manual by the same title I tried to make a comprehensive video explaining all the things you should consider before becoming a #librarian, or contemplating working in a #library. These are things I wish I could have known before entering the field. Knowing these things might make you more prepared, well-equipped, and less likely to be disappointed if it’s not what you thought it would be, but it might also make you a better, stronger, well-versed librarian. These are MY opinions based on MY experiences. I will share below others in the field sharing their experiences. Not everything I say is golden truth, take everything with a grain of salt. Also, it is worth mentioning, that just like your job depends on the community it's serving, your situation may also depend on the kind of co-workers you have and how they collaborate/communicate etc. Medical Libraries NLM – MeSH (how to be a medical librarian):    / @nnlmgov   Elizabeth (books and pieces)- (has deleted her channel since the making of this video) Other Booktubers: Sassenach the Book Wizard’s Series on How to Become a Librarian:    • Rambling Librarian #1 | How to Become a Li...   Unmanaged Mischief’s Playlist DOCUMENTING her experiences in the MLIS program and Grad school:    • Video   Sarita Janich:    • So, You Want to Be a Librarian?   Funny things that happen in the library:   / strange_things_people_do_in_libraries   Goodreads list I created of Non-Fiction Books about Libraries and Librarians:   / 130203.nonfiction_books_about_libraries_an...   My YouTube playlist on Library Books:    • Video   🏴‍☠️ Digital Harbours I Drop Anchor In Discord:   / discord   Instagram:   / infinitetextlibrary   BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/infinitetext...
