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 planing, 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. 422410 2 2002 Jump Start Your Career in Library and Information Science total:4|3:3|1:1| 4 10 15 0 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Wed Nov 04 13:08:09 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 13:08:09 -0800 2009 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Thu Oct 22 16:32:30 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 22 16:32:40 -0700 2009 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Sun Jul 26 00:25:01 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 00:25:01 -0700 2009 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Sun Jun 14 16:19:29 -0700 2009 Sun Jun 14 16:19:29 -0700 2009 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Fri Dec 05 18:09:09 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 05 18:09:09 -0800 2008 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 1 0 false Wed Sep 24 08:12:33 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 08:12:33 -0700 2008 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Fri Apr 18 08:46:35 -0700 2008 Fri Apr 18 08:46:35 -0700 2008 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Sun Mar 09 17:41:33 -0700 2008 Sun Mar 09 17:41:43 -0700 2008 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Sat Feb 09 17:40:32 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 17:40:32 -0800 2008 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 3 0 false Fri Feb 08 15:55:02 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 08 15:55:02 -0800 2008 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 3 0 false Fri Dec 21 21:14:03 -0800 2007 Fri Dec 21 21:14:03 -0800 2007 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Sun Dec 09 18:53:58 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 18:53:58 -0800 2007 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 3 0 false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Wed Nov 14 09:13:36 -0800 2007 Wed Nov 14 09:17:55 -0800 2007 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Mon Oct 01 10:01:41 -0700 2007 Mon Oct 01 10:01:41 -0700 2007 433467 0810840847 9780810840843 4 0 2.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174722736m/433467.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/433467.Jump_Start_Your_Career_in_Library_and_Information_Science 0 0 false Sun Aug 12 16:59:48 -0700 2007 Sun Aug 12 16:59:54 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=433467
