How have professional in library and information services appeared to others in the past? How do we appear now? How will we appear in the future?
Below are a few characterizations of how we have, do or will look. All are linked to pages with larger of the same images. Use them for a basis of discussion on the bulletin board this week!

Sorry about the quality of some of the pictures. Below is a website on "IMAGE AND THE LIBRARIAN: An Exploration of a Changing Profession" from which I found a couple of the pictures. You can see the originals of most of the pictures above in the following articles (The Curran article is also an interesting read!):
IMAGE AND THE LIBRARIAN: An Exploration of a Changing Profession. http://home.earthlink.net/~cyberresearcher/ImageHomepage.htm
Curran, C. (1987). Let's face it: Librarians are wimps. An observer offers the final word on the The Image. American Libraries, 18, 687.
Wallace, L.K. (1989). The image- and what you can do about it in the Year of the Librarian. American Libraries, 20, 22-25.
