The Successful Academic Librarian: Winning Strategies From Library Leaders
Knowledgeably compiled and deftly edited by Gwen Meyer Gregory (Head of Bibliographic Services, for the Tutt Library of Colorado College, Colorado Springs, Colorado), The Successful Academic Librarian: Winning Strategies From Library Leaders focuses upon the roles and responsibilities of the school and academic librarian. Written expressly to cover what scholarly courses don’t teach new librarians before they begin work in the field, The Successful Academic Librarian includes advice on building strong collaborative relationships with university faculty, how to best handle the interview process, how to find and learn from qualified mentors, the value of documenting one’s career, what to expect when applying for tenure, and much more. An absolute “must-have” for any prospective academic librarian, and also recommended reading for anyone else pursuing an academic career, as many of the “need-to-know” interpersonal concepts discussed are cross-discipline.
