About LIScareer | |
About the Site | Editor & Webmaster | Assistant Editor LIScareer offers career development resources for librarians, information professionals, students & those considering a career in library & information science. The site includes practical advice contributed by information professionals, links to online resources, and information about print resources. The site was originally designed as a companion to the book Jump Start Your Career in Library and Information Science and is loosely structured around the same topics: career planning, job hunting, experience, education, interpersonal skills, networking, mentoring, leadership, and publishing. The site is primarily aimed at newer librarians and students, though the advice and resources may be useful to you at any stage of your career. LIScareer welcomes contributed articles and suggestions. Please see the Article Submission Guidelines if you'd like to contribute! LIScareer is a non-profit site created in Nov 2001 by Priscilla Shontz. Priscilla funds and manages the site. In Sept 2004, Priscilla invited Rich Murray to serve as assistant editor. Rich works with Priscilla to acquire and edit articles. About Priscilla (editor & webmaster) I developed an interest in career
management and professional development for new librarians and students
through my involvement with the ALA New Members Round Table, through my
own experiences as a new librarian, and through my contact with other
information professionals (new and experienced) who continually inspire
and encourage me. I am author of Jump Start Your Career in Library
& Information Science, editor of
The Librarian's Career Guidebook, and
co-editor of A Day in the Life: Career Options
in Library and Information Science. I recently started
working as the librarian at my children's school; in the past
I've
worked in university, community college, medical and public libraries.
In 1999-2000 I enjoyed serving as president of the ALA New Members Round
Table. For more about me, see my resume.
-- Priscilla K. Shontz About Rich (assistant editor) I stumbled into librarianship by accident ten years ago while I was working for an airline, and I've been in this profession ever since. Since 2002 I've worked as Catalog Librarian for Spanish & Portuguese Languages at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Before coming to Duke, I spent three years as a cataloger at Vanderbilt University and four years as a paraprofessional cataloger at my alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I've been actively involved with the American Library Association's International Relations Committee and New Members Round Table for several years; attending conferences and meeting great new people through ALA has been one of my favorite parts of my career. I also enjoy writing about the profession; in addition to my articles here at LIScareer.com, my work has appeared in The Informed Librarian, The One-Person Library, and Priscilla's The Librarian's Career Guidebook. For more about me, see my resume. -- Richard A. Murray |
