Reviews

As in other recent works, this book strives to answer questions that new librarians might have as they enter the workforce....The book offers information of use to all librarians interested in learning their way around, whether in a first job, a new position within the same library, or in an entirely new type of library....All in all, New Librarian, New Job would be an excellent addition to any library's professional collection. I can also recommend the book as a graduation gift or token of encouragement to a colleague considering a change in library employment.--2008 Libraries and Graduate Students: Building Connections
