As librarians move into the middle of their careers, they are more
ready than ever to take on new leadership opportunities. Literature
on leadership is expanding in the field of library and information
sciences, and more and more seminars and workshops are being
offered for new and seasoned leaders. This book asks the questions:
What about us? and, Where is the leadership advice and training for
those who are no longer new librarians, but are also not yet
seasoned leaders? The title illustrates how to work the middle,
from being in the sophomore slump progressing to the next leaders
in the field, to look for perspectives from others who are in the
middle of their career, and how they have developed into leaders,
ways to develop one s own style of leadership and grow one s career
and future as a librarian and information professional.
The library and information profession builds skills and expertise that cover a wide spectrum. These skills are often desirable in other fields and industries. Likewise, the skills we build before entering the library and information professions can help us as professionals. Skills to Make a Librarian looks at both sides of this equation through a collection of essays by current and former librarians and information professionals who make use of this wide range of cross disciplinary skills.
Beyond Mentoring: A Guide for Librarians and Information Professionals looks at mentorship, mentorship programs, what works, what doesn't, and different techniques, such as group and peer mentoring. The book considers many aspects of mentoring, various programs, and their successes and failures, going beyond the usual types of mentoring by looking at newer models. An example of the cohort model from the American Library Association Emerging Leader model is included as a case study. In addition, another case study on the Sunshine State leadership Institute provides a toolkit for building your own program. The final section of the book offers perspectives and tools that people can use in designing their own programs.
