Reviews for Librarians Career Guidebook
Priscilla Shontz's Jump Start Your Career in Library and Information Science (Scarecrow 2002) guided novice librarians through the intricacies of finding, getting, keeping, and enhancing jobs. Her new book does all that, and more....The pragmatic information in each article and the bibliographies make this an excellent guidebook for everyone in our profession, whether we are trying to assess where we are or figure out how to be in a better place.
Booklist, 5/15/2005
While it may seem unusual to call a 565 page collection of 63 articles on librarianship concise, the breadth of the subjects approached in this guidebook could not possibly be covered in any more of an accessible and brief manner. Pulling from expert voices in all aspects of the field...Shontz manages to create an invaluable resource for next generation and experienced librarians alike....The Librarian's Career Guidebook should hold a prominent place on every MLS student's bookshelf, but experienced librarians will want to keep it in reach, as well, for those times when change is calling.
Academia
The Librarian's Career Guidebook is one of those valuable print resources for career development, offering the collective wisdom of those serving the library community and patrons on frontlines and in trenches. Priscilla K. Shontz, author of Jump Start Your Career in Library and Information Science (Scarecrow, 2002), has compiled an excellent collection of contributions....This book—despite its formidable size—is eminently readable and practical. Those who own it will surely consult its pages throughout the different stages of their career. Highly recommended for public libraries.
Public Libraries
...a comprehensive, informative, and engaging book appropriate for librarians at any stage of their careers....an excellent addition to academic libraries and public libraries....This book should also be required reading for library science faculty members and for any librarians who will be mentoring junior colleagues.
American Reference Books Annual
...a basic, generalized guide to building a career in librarianship....a good starting point for those new to the profession...
Library Student Journal, November 2006
...a wonderful collection of wit and wisdom, almost like having a stable of mentors that fits in a briefcase....New and prospective librarians will find the book invaluable; more experienced professionals will learn something from it, too. Highly recommended for graduate and professional collections.
