Radford and Radford: Librarians and Party Girls
I enjoyed reading a scholarly paper that analyzed a less-than-profound popular movie. I also appreciate that, after providing a multidisciplinary analysis in response to "Tunnel Vision and Blind Spots", the Radfords present some positive ideas on challenging stereotypes.
Is this really what Wiegand hand in mind, though? I read Wiegend's call for multidisciplinary analysis as a call to understand the library's role in patrons' lives, and in its broader community context. Does studying Librarian stereotypes - what others think of us - quite meet the mark? It reminded me of a line from a different movie: "But enough about me, let's talk about you. What do you think of me?"
