Librarians Around the World

An e-book has been published, a result of the New Professionals Section of the Library Association of Latvia's project Librarians Around the World. Publication was supported by the State Culture Capital Foundation (Latvia). There are articles from 34 librarians, from 19 countries (see the map). All the librarians say something about their background and their job, and many of the chapters also have useful information about the library scene in that country. A number of them mention information literacy.
It states that aims for the project included "To tell high school students about librarian profession, to tell government about our problems, to make the world see that there are lots of awesome librarians out there. To show that we read (but not only!), do researches, attend conferences, create awesome projects, that also we organize and attend parties together and that sometimes one librarian has to be as an orchestra – to manage and to do everything – create events, catalogue books, buy new books, research, design, sing, dance, act, etc." The ebook is free at https://lbbjss.wordpress.com/librarians-around-the-world/
