Librarian Wardrobe
Created Librarian Wardrobe (LW) in 2010 to catalog what information workers wear while on the job and examine stereotypes. Most entries are user-submitted photos, with some mediated posts in an interview format to examine impact of style and perceptions on users and within the profession.
