Info Career Trends - September 2000 Welcome Message
Welcome to the all-new Info Career Trends, the only publication focusing on career development issues for librarians/information professionals. This inaugural issue focuses on the changing library environment and how it affects us as professionals. Plenty of lip service has been paid to technological change and how it is transforming libraries as an institution, but less attention has been given to how change affects the careers of practicing librarians -- you know, those of us who are actually working in those institutions!
In this issue, library consultant Pat Wagner provides suggestions on dealing with change in the library environment, librarian/author Marisa Urgo gives advice to managers faced with managing newer Generation X employees, and library job site creator Sarah Nesbeitt writes about her experiences as an accidental systems librarian. Also find links to several articles, books and web sites that will be helpful on your own path to dealing with inevitable change.
Thanks for subscribing! Send suggestions, comments, and article ideas to Rachel Singer Gordon. I look forward to hearing from you and hope that this newsletter proves a useful resource as you move along your own career path.
