Info Career Trends - January 2002 Editor's Note
Welcome to ICT's ninth issue! This may seem an insignificant milestone, but it marks a year-and-a-half in the life of an online publication -- which isn't bad, considering how many higher-profile publications burn out in half the time. This issue's articles cover a variety of ways to keep current; add ICT to your arsenal to keep your own career development up-to-date.
The newsletter owes its success to its over 1500 wonderful readers, and to its many volunteer contributors. To help ICT continue to succeed, please consider:
- Passing subscription information on to your colleagues
Subscription info can be found at the end of the newsletter, or subscribe easily online.
- Contributing an article
Upcoming themes and contributor guidelines are available online. Current needs include articles for March's issue (on library education) and May's (on rejuvenating your career).
- Donating via PayPal
This newsletter remains free-of-charge to subscribers. If you wish, however, to contribute financially to its publication, please consider making a PayPal donation.
Lastly, if you all will excuse a tiny bit of self-promotion, I'm pleased to announce the publication of Sarah Nesbeitt's and my new book, The Information Professional's Guide to Career Development Online.
Inside, learn how to interact and develop your career online through:
- Participating in electronic discussion lists and forums
- Researching educational opportunities
- Taking distance coursework online
- Reading and contributing to the professional literature
- Keeping current with online resources
- Creating your own Internet web page, weblog, discussion list, or newsletter
... and more!
