Jump Start Your Career in Library and Information Science is
designed to help new librarians begin to manage a successful and
satisfying career in the library and information science
profession. Although the first years are often overwhelming, they
can be the key to creating a successful career as a librarian or
information professional. Unless one is fortunate enough to have
good mentors or strong support groups, a new librarian may drift
into an unsatisfying career. This book emphasizes the value of
defining one's own idea of success and of positioning one's self to
be prepared to take advantage of opportunities that arise. Although
the book is aimed at students and new information professionals,
much of the advice may apply to a librarian at any stage of his or
her career. This book contains advice and anecdotes gathered from
research and interviews with more than 70 information professionals
in a variety of library-related careers. The book is written in a
practical, easy-to-read style. The modular format allows a reader
to read any chapter on its own or to read the chapters in any
order, choosing which ones are most relevant at any point. The book
covers eight broad topics: career planning, job searching, gaining
experience and education, developing interpersonal skills and
leadership skills, networking, mentoring, and writing for
publication. Lengthy lists of related readings, as well as related
web sites, are included to allow the reader to follow up on any
topic.
