The interesting thing I discovered was that a librarian job differentiates based on the subject he or she wishes to work in. For example, a librarian who focuses on politics can\u00a0work in Congress (or better yet, the White House) or, a librarian who has vast knowledge of medicine can work in a hospital. Depending on where a librarian works, he or she is assigned to archive and manage all of the historical and current information in a database. In a way, a librarian\u2019s job is similar to a museum registrar\u2019s job and, sometimes museums do have librarians. However, if there is a difference amongst the two, it is that a librarian does more in the administration work. For Dr. Ryan, she explains to me that her job is to manage the facility such as agreeing and allowing\u00a0parts of the library to be used as work space such as the Writing Center and next fall semester, Student Success Center will be\u00a0found on the second floor. Sometimes, she manages the book collections (such as which books must be added or discarded off the shelves), she makes publications of her own work and, she has to attend annual conferences. Her greatest work however, was creating the digital archives at Stetson University. When she first worked in the DuPount Library, the previous dean assigned her the job of creating the online archives. And for Dr. Ryan, she had no idea what to do. But over time, she managed to get\u00a0more than\u00a01,000 files\u2014from the school yearbook to\u00a0current memorabilia of the artist shows\u2014into the digital archives where students on campus (or anyone else) can see for free. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 12th || I had another meeting with Susan Ryan\u2014dean of the DuPont library\u2014about the work ethics of a librarian.
