Re: [LM_NET] Interview help

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@GMAIL.COM>]

Perhaps the concept of "What IS inside a librarian's portfolio?"
should be a question we all ask (and keep on hand for ANY type of
presentation, whether for a job interview or a reminder of what we
have been doing.)

Aside from a presentation (such as video or Powerpoint) which provides
the users with an graphic / visual idea of what you have done in the
library / classroom, what tangible things can a librarian bring to an
interview to showcase his / her instructional talents and abilities?

Obviously copies of articles written would be useful to share (I don't
see anything wrong with showcasing your writing abilities) OR perhaps
copies of a district library policy (procedures manual or perhaps a
handbook that you've created for your library) would be good to share.

However, when it comes to the instructional areas of our profession,
photographs, videos, and copies of graphics used for instruction WOULD
be a great option for an interview.

What would YOUR librarian portfolio contain?  How would you showcase it?


Just an idea to spin around...
