Info Career Trends - January 2003 Editor's Note
If you work in a library (information center, department of knowledge management...), you've experienced firsthand the multiple demands and responsibilities laid on today's information professionals. While this variety can be exhilarating, dealing with disparate demands can also be exhausting. Today's contributors offer tips for achieving balance and share their own experiences in doing so.
Once you've gotten your profesional life in balance by incorporating some of these suggestions, consider expanding your horizons further by writing for ICT. I'm currently accepting queries for March "jobs, salaries, and raises"), May ("building a career"), and July ("paths to librarianship"). If you have advice or experiences to share, e- mail editor@lisjobs.com. Contributor guidelines and more on possible topics to fit each theme are available online.
Lastly, I'm pleased to announce that my new book, The Accidental Systems Librarian, is coming out at the beginning of February. If you have (or are considering taking on) any responsibility for technology in your own institution, check out the title's web site for a sneak peek and a bunch of useful URLs. Then, buy a copy for yourself and for all of your friends! :)

P.S. For the people who asked about the baby after last issue's note, he's doing fine -- for those of you who'd like to say hi, you can view a photo online.
