Info Career Trends - July 2002 Editor's Note
Whatever library environment we find ourselves in, we all need information on how to advance our careers and keep from being stuck in the same place/at the same level. Today's authors have found success both in being promoted and in learning to promote themselves and their abilities, both on- and offline. They share their insights on being a successful first-time manager, getting promoted within your own institution, promoting yourself online and in-person, creating a dossier, and the benefits of earning a Ph.D.
Publishing itself serves as a sort of promotion, and, as always, ICT is seeking contributors to future issues. See upcoming themes and contributor guidelines; September's issue focuses on professional communication, and November's on specialization.
I'm also looking for survey respondents for a forthcoming book on writing for publication -- if you're willing to take a few minutes to share your experiences with publishing in the library literature, please fill out the online survey.
