Lagniappe: Career Resources for Librarians/Information Professionals

Abstract

While doing research for a presentation on “Librarianship as a SecondCareer,” I discovered a cornucopia of wonderful career resources forlibrarians. This information is not just for new graduates coming tolibrarianship from other professions, but also for librarians who have been in the profession for a while. As a recent library school graduate, I was sometimes perplexed by the job titles listed, so I was ecstatic when I discovered “Real Job Titles for Library and Information Science Professionals” by Michelle Mach (http://alexia.lis.uiuc.edu/~mach/realjobs.html), an exhaustive and very helpful list.
