Book excerpt: Becoming a solo librarian may be a daunting prospect. From collections to cataloguing, classifying to copyright, whether the individual is a solo librarian, within a small team with limited help, or working in a larger library or information hub, the range of tasks involved will remain the same. Whilst being a solo librarian does have its fair share of challenges that can include juggling multiple tasks and time management, marketing and embracing the ever-changing technologies and upcoming social media channels, and effectively managing the feeling of being isolated, there are also many advantages. With the author having been through the education process and gained work experience, information professionals will have already picked up many transferrable skills and identified some key aspects when it comes to accessing, using, and running a library. By being intellectually curious, embracing ever-changing technologies, enjoying learning and knowledge creation, and working alongside non-library colleagues, it is likely that information professionals are organised, can manage their time effectively, enjoy helping others by sharing and promoting library and information services, and will stay engaged as a team of one. As a solo librarian herself and a book not being available on the topic, she has decided to write one – which covers the lessons learnt, and templates created in order to assist others) that find themselves in a similar role &/or a small team with limited help. This Internationally applicable and practical handbook will follow a yearly planner and shows a timeline of key activities that happen throughout, in this instance, an academic year and include the following examples: Acquisitions, cataloguing, updating library guidance (before academic year start - September) Student and Staff Inductions (September/October) Quarterly Business Review to review updates and library usage (Oct – Dec) Library cover over student/staff holiday period (Dec) Quarterly Business Review (Jan – Mar) Quality standard(s) re-accreditation (April) Research methods/study skills webinars (April) Library cover over student holiday period (April) Quarterly Business Review (April –June) Copyright Audit (May) Copyright Academic Rollover (June) Quarterly Business Review (July –Sept) Yearly e-Library review (July) Financial Review (July) Student Survey Results (July) Library cover over student holiday period (August/September) Appendices will include a condensed version of ‘Lucy the Librarian top tips for successful solo librarianship’ (Note: Chapter 4 of the publication will expand on key elements and provide contextual examples) as well as providing templates and guidance notes that will be made available to download and used to aid those working in information, knowledge, libraries and related disciplines, whether based within the UK or around the world. The idea behind this practical handbook, therefore, is to provide guidance and templates to cover: Understanding the roles and responsibilities of a solo librarian Identifying library user needs, Benchmarking, Forming a clear structure – for Physical and Online Libraries, Acquisitions and financial management, Classification and cataloguing, Archives and records management, Copyright (incl. Referencing and Plagiarism), Intellectual Property, and Licensing, Communications and promotion, Where to access further Information, Advice, and Guidance, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an exciting time to be a librarian. Advances in technology have let libraries expand far beyond walls and lead the way in information delivery, while transforming the physical library into a place where customers can connect to information in new ways. It is also a challenging time to be a librarian. With continual change as the new normal, staying current can seem overwhelming. Even as they face budget shortfalls and staff reductions, librarians are tasked with finding the time and resources to keep abreast of rapid changes. This book offers a cornucopia of practical advice about how to acquire new skills (and formal and informal credentials) through all stages of a career. The 27 essays cover formal and online education, conferences, fellowships, workshops, networking, teaching, mentoring, balancing personal with professional lives, and money matters--and are filled with practical, honest and real-world advice.
