Dear colleagues,
The International Society of Medievalist Librarians welcomes your
participation in our sponsored session at the International Congress on
Medieval Studies 55 May 7-10, 2020. Please distribute widely!
Thanks,
Anna and Julia
*So You Want to Be a Librarian: the paths, possibilities, and the pitfalls
of careers in LIS (a roundtable)*
*Sponsored by the International Society of Medievalist Librarians*
Organizers: Anna Siebach-Larsen and Julia Schneider
As the crisis of the tenure track job market deepens, students, faculty,
and career centers are increasingly searching for non-TT career
possibilities for medievalist graduate and undergraduate students, with the
library profession often near the top of the list. This panel discussion
will address what a career in library and information sciences might
actually look like for medievalists, whether it be in metadata, rare books
and special collections, public libraries, digital scholarship, outreach,
collection development, and more. Panelists will discuss the practicalities
of career development, the realities of the job, and the potential
difficulties and the opportunities that medievalists might encounter on
this path.
Participants might describe their own career path and their positions,
and/or reflect upon individual and structural forces at play in shaping
careers in LIS, and/or discuss the practicalities of the LIS job market and
how LIS careers are discussed and introduced to medievalists as part of
their career formation and trajectory. We will leave significant time for
discussion among participants and members of the audience.
The International Society of Medievalist Librarians is dedicated to
supporting the work of medievalist LIS professionals. Membership is open to
all, whether they are members, advocates, or interested in the profession.
Please send proposals to Anna Siebach-Larsen (
annasiebachlarsen(a)rochester.edu) and Julia Schneider (jschneid(a)nd.edu)
by *September
15, 2019.*
