Reviews:
-As well as providing a valuable resource for library and information studies students and their teachers, this book is a rich source of information for anyone contemplating a career move or wanting to change jobs within their organization. The self-assessment tools also all the reader to evaluate their satisfaction with their current job and explore possibilities which they may not have previously considered. —The Australian Library Journal
-Users get two books in one with this source. Dority provides not only information about careers in librarianship but also a workshop approach to maximizing one's career opportunities....it is the workshop element that distinguishes this book from others on library science careers....Dority provides help in developing and nurturing a career. Worksheets and questionnaires encourage readers to explore their own preferences, and discover which path or combination of paths will allow most job satisfaction....I wish I'd written this book. As I didn't, all I can do is recommend that libraries that support library science students purchase it, and that librarians themselves consider it as a personal purchase. Particularly librarians at the start of their careers will find this a helpful guide. —American Reference Books Annual
-This professional resource is a practical employment manual for students, new graduates, and seasoned professionals. Full of annotated bibliographies, excercises, and bulleted lists, this book serves as a blueprint for librarians....This book should be recommended reading for Library Science students, and for any librarian who wants to make the most of their career. Recommended. —Library Media Connection
