habitually probing generalist

A friend of mine, Richard (blogging at Inherent Vice) is asking for help in showing just what it is that we do in LIS for an upcoming presentation.

Often people are confused about what it means to be a graduate of a Library and Information Science program. The common stereotype is that we are all gray-haired bun-wearing shushers, when in fact LIS is an extremely interdisciplinary and varied discipline.

For an upcoming presentation to high school students I am charged with putting together a poster that illustrates just what LIS is.

I’m asking for your help. Please submit photos (preferably with a CC license) to this Flickr group that illustrates what we do as LIS professionals and researchers.

This is LIS Flickr Group.

Please help him out if you can. I should assume that since he is primarily asking for photos with a CC license (by which I am assuming he means some form of ShareAlike) that this pool of photos would be usable by all of us.

If anyone is familiar with already extant pools of photos that would fit this (or similar) purposes, please go comment on Richard’s blog post.

Thanks in advance, from both of us.
