Fascinating program suggestion!
by Journey Robinson 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Just wanted to share an awesome, all-ages program we had in late November. Oindrila Bhar, a local dancer, presented a fascinating program about the historical and cultural significance of the Odissi dance from ancient India. She performed a few pieces, and between each piece connected the dance to both the historical context and her current-day life. This is a great cultural program for any community. Ms. Bhar may be reached at oindrilabhar(a)gmail.com.

Librarian/archivist questions
by Alex Blanco 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Hi, I was wondering how competitive the job market is for librarians and archivists. Is there a difference in how many jobs are open for archivists, public librarians, university librarians? What is the salary for public librarians vs university librarians vs archivists? What are the types of classes you have to do for a MLIS program and is reading and writing involved? Also do you have to like reading and writing to work at a library or in archives or is it more of like research type stuff? Thanks, Alex

This webinar will introduce participants to what trauma is and how it impacts both individuals and communities; the principles and goals of trauma-informed librarianship; how we can apply this lens to library services in actionable ways to better support survivors in our libraries, whether they are patrons or colleagues; and how we can take care of ourselves too, through 10 concrete self-care strategies. Guest Speaker Karina Hagelin (they/them) is a chronically ill and disabled queer femme librarian who is passionate about working with library workers and librarians who are committed to creating cultures that center healing through radical empathy, collective care, and social justice work. Blending their lived experiences and expertise on trauma-informed librarianship, they lead diverse groups of librarians and library workers through engaging, interactive, and informative webinars + workshops. Karina is currently based in Ithaca, New York, where they most recently worked as an Outreach and Instruction Librarian at Cornell University.
