Librarians tend to love their work and consider librarianship a great career. This book is by a talented librarian who wants to introduce people, especially people finishing college or recently out of college, to the profession. If you are attracted to becoming a librarian, you will find answers to a lot of your questions here:

What do librarians do? What are the different types of libraries and professional jobs in libraries? What is the story behind the profession? What are librarians all about and what hot issues do they discuss in their professional lives? What do I do to become a librarian? What are some important things to know once I'm in a masters program in library science?

This book is an essential introduction to the profession for someone who is at that point of choosing a career.
