This book addresses the career possibilities that librarians and other information professionals can explore if they are no longer interested in working at public or academic libraries. The book covers everything from consulting to taking up systems work. The best part of the book was the short email interviews with information professionals who have gone through big transitions.
This is a valuable and accessible work in career planning, one area of writing where it can be difficult to locate substantive and reliable information. ( )
