About the Book

How ambitious are you? Do you have a career plan? Are your skills up to date? Where do you want to be in three, five or ten years' time? Offering useful advice for any information professional eager to prosper in the library and information environment of the 21st century, it offers guidance on managing every stage of your career, whether you are a new entrant to the profession wishing to know how to get a foot on the ladder, an information professional in mid-career wishing to progress, or a candidate for a more senior position needing a view of the current state of the profession.
