Are you interested in law librarianship, but haven’t pursued it as a career path because you do not have a law degree? While some law librarians do have a J.D. (juris doctor) or law degree, it is certainly not necessary to work in the field. Law librarians work in many different settings. They can be found working in a variety of settings, such as academic law libraries, public law libraries, courthouses, government agencies, and private law firms. Their patrons can include the general public, law students, attorneys, legislators, and judges.

Abstract: Through a discussion of her “The Legacy of Lady Bountiful: White Women in the Library” (2016) and “How Cute! Race, Gender, and Neutrality in Libraries” (2017), Gina Schlesselman-Tarango will trace some of the political work that is performed at the intersections of whiteness and gender in libraries, demonstrating how that which surfaces in our field is illustrative and often in service of larger racial projects. She will end with reflections on what whiteness studies can offer to LIS and where it might fall short.
