Info Career Trends - March 2006 Editor's Note
"Libraries Build Communities." Yes, we've all heard the tagline. We think less often, though, about the ways in which we create our own professional communities, about how we build the networks and forge the connections that allow us to be successful. Today's contributors demonstrate that we are strongest in combination and when we work together, showing various ways to create these ties and benefit from our relationships with our fellow librarians.
If you'd like to be a more active part of the Info Career Trends community, I am seeking contributors for two upcoming issues: July 2006 (facing change), and Sept. 2006 (writing for publication). E- mail your queries to editor@lisjobs.com, and find online guidelines at http://www.lisjobs.com/newsletter/theme.htm#contrib.
I'd also like to invite you, as part of my own extended library community, to join me at the Computers in Libraries conference in Washington DC later this month. I'll be signing my new book, The NextGen Librarian's Survival Guide, from 2:30-3:15 PM on Thurs. March 23 at the ITI booth. (Check out an excerpt from the title in your March issue of American Libraries!) You can also find me doing two Cybertours in the exhibit area: "Writing for Info Pros" on Wed., March 22 at 11:00 AM, and "Jobs for Librarians and Info Pros" on Thurs., March 23 at 11:00 AM.
Hope to see you all there!
