![]() ![]() According to scholars the stereotype of the sexy librarian has surged to become the most popular representation of librarians, in online videos.[1][2] The sexy librarian is a name given to representations of librarians, where the librarian shows, behind a business-like surface attire, an underlying sexuality.[3][4] Ashanti White, author of the 2012 book, Not Your Ordinary Librarian: Debunking the Popular Perceptions of Librarians, wrote that the shushing buttoned-down, older librarian was the most common depiction of librarians, in fiction, followed by the sexy librarian stereotype.[1] Ramirose Ilene Attebury, in Library Philosophy and Practice reported she found that the sexy librarian stereotype was more popular than the old maid stereotype, in YouTube videos.[2] In 2006 Microsoft introduced an early version of what was to become the bing search engine that used over 600 pre-recorded video clips of actor Janina Gavankar, portraying the character of "Ms Dewey", described as a sexy librarian character.[5][6] See alsoReferences
