But I Want To Hold It In My Hand! Print Resources
In lieu of a formal book review this month, this is just a reminder from your editor that Info Career Trends exists partially to support my own writing and publishing efforts. If you haven't already, I'd urge you all to take a look at Sarah Nesbeitt's and my new book, The Information Professional's Guide To Career Development Online.
If you're reading this, you already realize the growing importance of online resources to any librarian's career. The Information Professional's Guide contains ideas on many other ways you can learn, grow, and promote yourself in the Internet environment, including:
- locating and benefiting from distance learning opportunities
- establishing an online presence via a web site, newsletter, or blog
- creating and effectively using an electronic resume
- locating scholarships, grants, and educational opportunities
- using Internet resources to locate, read, and write for the professional literature
- networking online with others
- finding and benefiting from current awareness opportunities
- job hunting and researching positions online
We're excited about the opportunity this book offers us to share what we've learned about effective online career development with all of you.
Take a look at the title's companion web site, and consider adding it to your own professional development bookshelf!
