Associations
Here is a new association (to me) for our profession, The Association of Part-Time Librarians.
The following are the ideas which sparked our enthusiasm in forming the Association of Part-Time Librarians. The organization members will strive to:Provide a support group to share our work experiences, seeking similarities and differences without limitations as to type of library where experience is gained.Identify and prioritize our common concerns and provide an open forum for these concerns.Provide speakers to address these issues for the members.Establish a communications network with our full-time colleagues which emphasizes that our intellectual commitment to professionalism in librarianship still exists and grows stronger.Investigate other existing library and professional organizations which currently share our concerns and might address our needs.Act as a clearinghouse for up-to-date information on library workshops and conferences for both national and local associations; obtain member information.Promote the development of a statewide network of librarians interested in part-time librarianship.
We must begin a campaign to heighten the awareness of our full-time colleagues of our abilities, our needs and our expectations as librarians.
