I remember watching this video after rediscovering my old childhood dream to be a librarian. I was lost after I had to drop out of my studies in accountancy (mostly because of my mental health situation during that time), but after remembering the dream I had as a child, I felt hope. This video was the first one I came across in my research, and the one that gave me the first spark and the final push to move forward once again. Now, I'm enrolled at one of the top universities in our country as a BLIS student. Thank you so much 💓
Dear Lemondrops, Thank you for this beautiful message. I was so very touched. It is wonderful that you have found your path into Librarianship and are now flourishing in an LIS program. I am sure your message will inspire many people who also experience career twists and turns. I have a feeling you will become an amazing librarian, and I wish you all the best! Jenna
Really glad to have found your channel Professor Hartel! I read your paper in my information communities class and incorporated the ideas to discuss and learn more information seeking and behaviors for a community of artists!
Thanks so much for your note! I'm really glad the paper and videos were helpful. Artist information seeking and behaviours are fascinating; what a great topic. Onward! Jenna
Dear Dr. Tissa, I am very touched by your message, and to have such positive words from an accomplished LIS scholar and librarian. Thank you for visiting INFIDEOS. I hope you continue to watch and also share these videos with your colleagues and students at the University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka. Please don't hesitate to email me directly at jenna.hartel@utoronto.ca with suggestions of new videos to make, that might be useful or inspiring. Warmest wishes, Jenna
Thanks! That's great news. It's terrific that you are studying LIS at the BS level, which is not often the case. You have a head start to a library career. Please come back to INFIDEOS, and let me know if there are any videos you think would be useful. I'll make them! Warmest wishes, Jenna
You're very welcome! Thanks for your note, it has inspired me to make more videos. Please keep coming back to INFIDEOS. I hope your passion for Library and Information Science grows and grows! 😊
Hey Students (of my course The Information Experience), I would LOVE to hear your reactions to this video! Please, please, help me get some commentary going.Thanks a bunch!
That's a great question! This is a big revelation I share with my students of LIS. Actually, librarians do not spend their time reading books; rather, they pay attention to trends in book reading and the qualities of books that appeal to people. It's more important to be passionate about *sharing* books than reading books. Also, librarians understand the *structure* of books and help people move to the most useful part to answer their question. This short segment of a video speaks to the point: th-cam.com/video/B73wn7EzhPE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1b_YAnWwtmZ9LQX9&t=784 (It may sound crazy but you should be more of a "leaper" through informatin than a "reader.") It may be worthwhile for you to watch that whole video, which gets into very deep aspects of LIS, which includes the fact that *reading* is not the foremost activity. Hope it helps, and that you join us in LIS. All the best wishes, Jenna

Can I take library and information science even if I’m not a big book reader?

@@INFIDEOS Great response. What are your top tips for how one can become a better "leaper" of information than a "reader"?
