Book Review

 

Sellen, Betty-Carol, ed. What Else You Can Do With a Library Degree: Career Options for the 90s and Beyond. New York: Neal-Schuman Publishers, Inc., 1997. ISBN 1-55570-264-3.

 

Sellen has compiled articles from a number of degreed librarians who have put their library skills to good use in a variety of non- traditional settings, from publishing to marketing to consulting. This is not strictly a "how-to" manual that will explain step-by-step how one can move into an alternative career, but the first-person accounts and the advice from many contributors will provide helpful examples for information professionals contemplating similar career changes. An interesting read that may spark ideas in some who are interested in finding non-library opportunities, which may be even more abundant today than when this title was released.
