The Accidental Systems Librarian
Here is a book that fills in part of a gap in librarianship education--the business of running a library, especially the machinery and software that make a modern library possible. It is full of encouragement and suggestions for keeping up with the realities of continual learning about computers, networking, software, security, databases, instruction and training, and record keeping. Examples provide librarians of all types with ideas for projects and ways to solve local issues. The index includes many familiar products and brand names. New and experienced librarians will find answers to some of their questions on systems librarianship. Gordon's major point is that librarians should practice what they preach--lifelong learning of new and interesting skills.RBBCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
