Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

The author of this article, a card-carrying member of the American Library Association (ALA), discusses her views on how difficult it is for some leaders to accept that this is the 21st century. She feels that people do not need to choose between blogs and printed text, because people can read both. She also feels that library shelves have room for both DVD's and books.

30. Generational Journeys

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

When discussing NextGen concerns, common problems are faced in talking about any difference. These include the perception that pointing out differences is exclusionary; the misunderstanding that talking about the issues facing NextGen's means those issues are exclusive to that group; and the problem that people's interaction with individuals tends to shape ideas about an entire group. Unfortunately, these miscues can cause people to shut down before really hearing what their colleagues are saying. This brief article evaluates this dilemma through a discussion divided into the following sections: The age-blind failure; We are what we watch; and When NextGen is now.

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

What's the best way to find out what younger professionals think? Just ask! In this article, several librarians, ranging in age from 25 to 35, reveal their thoughts about their profession. These NextGens share common concerns about the few entry-level opportunities available, noting also that short-term budget solutions like cutting staff or reducing positions to part-time affect the future stability.

33. Move Mountains: Bring Nextgen Enthusiasm to the Work You Do; Show Your Staff that You Are a Librarian as Well as a Manager

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

NextGens making the jump into management, or those lucky (or foolhardy!) enough to do so right out of school, often find that the challenge of managing established staff takes some of the momentum out of the ability to effect change. Some older librarians find it hard enough to believe that NextGens are their peers; they simply shut down when faced with the thought that one might be their manager. The author interviewed a number of new managers on the greatest challenges and surprises of their positions. Those in their twenties and thirties invariably described challenges such as: being the youngest person on staff, and feeling that their older colleagues discounted their opinions and ideas. While generational generalizations can be dangerous, people do tend to share a certain commonality of background and experience with their age cohorts that can lead to gaps in communication and outlook between generations. This article offers practical solutions and suggestions to new NextGen managers for bridging the generation gaps in experience, and communication and effective team building. Some of the management techniques suggested include: (1) Going in with the assumption that you will need to convince them of the benefits of any changes and having ammunition ready to support them; (2) Demonstrating willingness to connect with staff and commiting to your library by pitching in on the front lines, even for just a short time each week. Bring your NextGen energy and enthusiasm to all of the work you do, and show that you are a librarian as well as a manager; and (3) Considering everyone's feedback, regardless of their "professional" status or official position in the hierarchy. Gordon continues, by challenging managers that when faced with staff who seem ageist and burnt out, it can be tempting just to dismiss them all as dead wood, and reminding managers them that it is their responsibility and challenge to reinfuse their people with their own enthusiasm for this profession.

34. Time to Make Some Change

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

In the evolving librarian profession, perhaps the most important skill is the ability to become change leaders within the organizations. If librarians truly want to bring the NextGen enthusiasm, outlook, and skills to bear on institutions and profession, then they must be able to inspire colleagues. Librarians need to be able to show when and why change is necessary and to build excitement about where they and the organizations are headed. This article presents some ideas on what NextGen librarians can do to express when and why change is necessary.

35. Where the Jobs Are

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

Despite the discussion about the greying of the profession, librarians seem to agree on little but this: the jobs being vacated are generally upper-level and the departure of retiring library managers fails to translate into a glut of entry level spots. This article describes how NextGens should prepare to move into management and other upper level posts.

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

Male NextGen Librarians remain a rare breed. In fact, 82 percent of librarians are female, according to 2002 U.S. Statistical Abstract figures, and 21 percent of 2002 LIS grads were male, according to "Salaries Stalled, Jobs Tight." The author decided to get to know some of the men who make up this minority. Fifty-one younger male new librarians shared their stories. This article contains a brief analysis of the stories shared.

37. Speech Wants to Be Free

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

As a profession, Librarians rightly pride themselves on valuing freedom of expression. The immediate and convenient nature of online discussion, though, hinders professionals from putting the same thought into internet conversations as into other professional communications. NextGens who have grown up with online communication are particularly susceptible to the lure of informality. This article provides some suggestions and solutions for professional online communication.

38. Is Association Membership Worth It?

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

Librarians looking for an increased connection with the profession have traditionally gotten involved with associations. They become American Library Association (ALA) members, join a division or round table, perhaps volunteer for a committee. They take part in their state association, attend state conferences, perhaps present a poster session or table talk. They side with special-interest groups (for systems librarians, youth services librarians, independent information professionals) and speak up. Currently, though, the perception of a lagging job market, depressed salaries, and the exodus to nontraditional positions require that our associations prove their continued worth and relevance. New grads cannot be blamed for asking, "What's in it for me?" This article provides some ideas on how to make membership to the ALA readily available. It also provides ideas on how to expend the profession.

39. Find Your Image between the Extremes

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

Librarians' unfortunate fixation on image as a defining generational characteristic also makes them just as guilty of promoting misconceptions as nonlibrarians. Can the profession stand another article in the general press that trumpets the amazing new discovery that librarians can be young, trendy, stylish? The level of our colleagues' responsibility, or their abilities cannot be defined by clothes, piercings, hair color, tattoos, and makeup ... or lack thereof. In defining the image of nextgen librarians, there is a need to move beyond the extremes and think about where that image as a library professional originates. The need to break away from stereotype walks a fine line. Young librarians should realize that when they define themselves against the sensibly shod, bunned librarians of their elementary school days, they are in danger of falling into a stereotype themselves. Librarians must build an image based on who they really are. Individual images come down to common sense. Those who tilt more toward the individuality side of the scale will fit well in positions (Yale comes to mind) where their distinct image is appropriate and appreciated. Those who tilt more toward comfort might gravitate to a more informal working environment. Those in a Fortune 500 corporate environment might need to emulate other company cubicle dwellers in order to be taken seriously. This ever expanding profession has a style and a place for every personality, style, and image. When you find your perfect fit, you can settle into your library home.

Author

Gordon, Rachel Singer

Abstract

This column is dedicated to issues and answers for the new generation of librarians. Inspired by the ideas sparked by the NEXGENLIB-L discussion list launched in 2003 by Christine Borne, NextGen will grapple with the problems and ideas new librarians face every day, issues often marginalized in library literature. Though many columns, including this inaugural one, may revolve around the particular concerns of younger librarians, NextGen also spotlights the coming leaders of the library world, no matter their age today. This inaugural article discusses specific facts that new professionals should be aware of.
