    Jumping onto the Bandwagon: New Librarians Navigating the Science/Technology Librarianship
    (Electronic Journal of Academic and Special Librarianship, 2009) Tchangalova, Nedelina
    The terminology of engineering is daunting to the novice librarian without any science background. Library information school (LIS) students without training in scientific disciplines express concerns about pursuing a career in engineering librarianship. Why don’t they get onto the science/technology (sci/tech) bandwagon? What information and inspiration are necessary to sail toward the science and engineering horizons of our profession? A successful transition from graduate student to practicing engineering librarian requires a complex combination of knowledge and skills. The support and assistance of colleagues is critical and the establishment of support groups for various research needs can provide a mechanism for discussing common concerns. The author will discuss strategies to encourage science, engineering, and library students to pursue careers in science/engineering libraries and highlight ideas on recruitment and retention of new science and technology librarians.

    Continuing Education of New Librarians
    (2007-06-22) Tchangalova, Nedelina; Peppers, Marla; Hoops-Parish, Lisa; Clark, Heather; Nelson, William; Raftus, Deb
    Project O was part of the 2007 ALA Emerging Leaders program and participants were charged with investigating the continuing education needs of new librarians, specifically: • What do new librarians need? • How do ALA and other library-affiliated organizations currently reach them? In response to the charge, Team O conducted a review of current library and information science literature to investigate the training and educational needs of new librarians. In addition, the team researched the current continuing education opportunities available to new librarians through ALA and other organizations. Areas of inquiry included researching different facets of library work (technical services, public services, library administration, etc.), Google and Worldcat searches, content provided by library organizations, Leadership institutes, and post-Masters certification programs.
