Great selection for one entering the field!

This book contains a lot of general information about the library profession. As an individual getting ready to embark on the M.L.S. journey, I found it useful. The title includes basic information on the history of librarianship and the players in today's profession. There are different sections concerning the overall purposes of public and academic institutions and information centers. In addition, the book describes the "professional functions" of different jobs in the aforementioned sectors. Particularly useful was the information on selecting the perfect M.L.S. program, as well as the job placement section, which details what one should expect from a job interview and the first job. Priceless resources like job lines, listservs, and other reading were also listed.
