I didn't spend an hour but I did take it myself. And I'm so pale in this picture (taken last December right before Winter Commencement)I look like Casper the Friendly Ghost's redheaded sister.

Don't forget spending the next hour editing it in Photoshop so that I look ten pounds thinner.

I used my passport picture. I look a bit like an ax murderer but it was easier than spending hours trying unsuccessfully to get a good one. Anyway I generally take my profile off my libguides.

Our manager brought in a photographer to take them - she took at least a dozen of me, then only gave me a choice of two. I don't like either of them.....
Why in the world do we need a profile photo for a libguide?

It's nice SEEING the librarian who created the guide. It helps put a face to a name.

I like mine. But I used a Yahoo avatar, so I cheated.

I also used one from facebook. I had a death grip on some Harry Potter books. Thought it was fitting. . . http://blueridge.libguides.com/profile/a_norvell

I edited an existing image into a head shot that I'm using. It took a bit of time,but at least I didn't have to wait for a good hair day.

The librarians at my library are so anti-social that they refused to put pictures of themselves on their profile. Instead you see kitty cats, dolls, etc..

I used yearbookyourself to get a nice 1950's look going. Took me less than five minutes.
Cropped a snapshot taken while dining at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.

When constructing a LibGuides profile page, librarians should budget at least one hour for snapping an adequately flattering arm’s-length self-portrait profile picture with a mobile phone camera. If this hour proves fruitless, just use a picture of your cat.
Ask the Readers: Do you like your LibGuides profile pic? If so, share a link in the comments below.
