If you are attracted to becoming a librarian, you will find answers to a lot of your questions here:

  • What do librarians do?
  • What are the different types of libraries and professional jobs in libraries?
  • What is the story behind the profession?
  • What are librarians all about and what hot issues do they discuss in their professional lives?
  • What do I do to become a librarian?
  • What are some important things to know once I’m in a masters program in library science?

This book is an essential introduction to the profession for people who are at the point of choosing a career.

I’ll also be doing a book signing at the Library Juice Press booth at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago on Sunday, July 12th, at 10am. Stop by and say hi! I’ll be in booth 1637 in the Exhibits Hall at the convention center.

Stay tuned for more information!
