商品簡介
Donovan, an acquisitions librarian at Appalachian State U., and Figueroa, a network services coordinator at the Ehrman Medical Library at New York U., assemble 17 invited chapters for leaders, supervisors, and directors of libraries that detail how they can transform new or early-career librarians into future leaders through staff development. Written by new librarians from academic institutions, public libraries, and other library organizations in the US, the chapters detail lessons learned in terms of programs, management styles, coaching and mentoring, attitudes and actions, and job responsibilities. They also discuss developing researchers, minority librarians, networking, and conferences. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
