Letter From the Editor iPeeps, prepare yourselves—this is the most chock-full-of-content issue we’ve put out yet. The pièce de resistance is a presentation of job search tips both from MLIS alumni (over 130 professionals responded to our survey, most of whom are employed in academic and public libraries) and social worker-turned-information diva Katie Maynard. The Silverfish would like to send a HUGE and heartfelt thank you to all of the alumni who generously offered advice and encouragement for the job search process. This issue also features a selection of Directed Fieldwork experiences, an interview with Nancy Pearl (we at the ‘Fish can’t get enough of her, and expect you feel the same!), and a reflection by Leela Yellesetty about the value of libraries.
Haven’t caught the 3:10 to Yuma or The Assassination of Jesse James yet? Find out if these westerns are worth your time from the Silverfish’s own Roeper and Ebert (Jamie Hancock and Jack Baur). Friends, there’s so much more to discover in this Spring issue of the ‘Fish that I’ll just leave you to it now. Enjoy! Best,
