Professionalism as a librarian or library student

Stephens, M. (2012). Professionalism matters. Library Journal. Accessed online on http://lj.libraryjournal.com/2012/05/opinion/michael-stephens/office-hours-professionalism-matters/ on August 28, 2012.

Michael Stephens is my adviser at SLIS and I subscribe to his blog, Tame the Web. I linked to this article from his blog. He discusses the need for professionalism in your librarian web presence. This includes what you write, the quality of your work, how you interact with others, and valuing the quality of your online contributions above your number of followers, links, and re-tweets. It also gives suggestions on how to make yourself an appealing candidate when you are competing with 200 others for a library job.
