Lagniappe: Career Resources for Librarians/Information Professionals

Abstract

While doing research for a presentation on “Librarianship as a Second Career,” I discovered a cornucopia of wonderful career resources for librarians. This information is not just for new graduates coming to librarianship 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.
