The Information and
Knowledge Professional's Career
Handbook:
Define and Create
Your Success
With Jill Hurst-Wahl
Chandos Publishing, 2011
(Distributed in North America by
Neal Schuman Publishers)
Available from:
Chandos Publishing,
OLA Webstore or
Amazon.
Information Professionals and
Knowledge Managers deal with
significant career challenges
for a number of reasons
associated (for example) with
common misperceptions of their
expertise and roles.
In
environments where they must
often justify their work and
value over and over, those
already in the profession and
those just entering need to
prepare for a reality that may
differ from expectations.
Based on the authors' own
extensive experience, the book
is intended to give readers a
set of tools and techniques with
which to secure a strong career,
build an effective brand, and
succeed as professionals. |

From book review by:
Alexandra Simons - The Journal
of Academic Librarianship
September 2011, p. 450
Anecdotal evidence suggests that
many people in the field are
looking for careers outside
traditional library settings, so
this is a timely and helpful
guide for new or experienced
professionals who are
considering staying in libraries
or making a jump to other
opportunities, such as
consulting.

In this brief book, I share my
experience in an effort to assist
those considering a move into
consulting.
Covering the basics of
setting up shop as well as typical
project events and realities, I
offer answers to questions I have
often been asked: So what is it
really like to be a consultant? What
does it take? Is my personality
suited? |
