We sometimes lose sight of the fact that others' learning curves and priorities are not the same as ours. You may find that you need more knowledge about technology to fully understand the MIS people in your organization. There are special communication opportunities for those who are the first librarian in their organization. This also applies if you follow someone who has not utilized the full potential of the library. You will be under special scrutiny in these situations and your ability to communicate what you are doing and how you are being a good steward of the organization's money will be keys to your success in the organization.
Good librarians know that learning never stops.
In addition to the new things we learn every day while doing Reference work, we must continue to seek out new information in any area that affects our organization. Read the publications your boss reads - it will broaden your horizons beyond libraries. Read the local business magazines or newspapers. Scan the newsletters that the attorneys or professors read. You could make a goal to review particular web sites each work or each month.
