Gen: Help for new librarians

[Diane Pozar <dpozar@kiski.net>]

In case you missed it or didn't check it out Kathy Graves gave a link to a
site for new librarians on her homepage.  I looked at it and it is
excellent; I am referring a friend of mine who just got his 1st library job
to this site.

Would also be helpful for anyone changing buildings or districts; some of
the questions may seem to be "no-brainers" but I would use it as a
checklist.

I agree that you do not get enough practical experience in library school;
internships should show the practical side but if the co-operating librarian
doesn't help you are at a disadvantage.

I do not mind helping new librarians; I wish this list-serv had been around
when I began my career.
