Many librarians report feeling passionate about their chosen profession, but have you ever asked yourself exactly why? What are your personal values that make working in the library field so rewarding? Knowing the answers to these questions and being able to articulate them as a personal philosophy can help you focus your efforts, give you a rubric by which to assess your effectiveness, and help identify opportunities for growth and improvement.
This webinar will discuss the importance of having a philosophy of librarianship, how our philosophies guide our work, and what resources can help librarians begin to explore and articulate their own specific philosophies.
