Current Awareness: Good Dress Sense for Librarians
Hey all -- who knew the Slovaks had their fingers on the pulse of what is important for librarians!? I got this in a table of contents service that arrives in my inbox...
TI: Title
Spolocenske postavenie a imidz kniznicno-informacneho pracovnika.
[Social position and image of library and information staff.]
AU: Author
Petercova, Stefania
SO: Source
Kniznica, vol. 7, no. 6-7, pp. 12-14, 2006
DE: Descriptors
Library staff; Information work; Social aspects
AB: Abstract
Discusses the changing role of libraries and argues that, in the
future, libraries will have to provide analytical services in addition
to delivering information and library services. Considers the
importance of library staff image, which is a perception of features,
which - in turn - require some effort to acquire. The platform for
positive image includes several attributes, including the ability to
communicate effectively, good general knowledge, self-confidence,
empathy, self-control, helpfulness and a degree of good dress sense.

How's your Slovak, Al? It sounds like an interesting article - wish I could read it!
What are fashionable librarians in Slovakia wearing these days?
Probably what they wore under Communism: tweed skirts, cardigans...oh wait, I'm wearing that now.
Oh, and one of the reasons I find this hilariously funny is that Judith & I have spent some time talking about needing to issue "fashion police" tickets to most of my coworkers...though the women are way better dressed than the men.
I always suspected you were a communist.
Pinko!
