Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter ii The Technical And Administrative Work Of A Library The work of any library falls naturally into two parts. The first of these may be referred to as the technical work of the library; it is concerned with the preparation of printed and other literary matter for use. The second of these may be referred to as the social, special or personal work of the library; it is concerned with the actual use of the library materials and information resources. Clearly before materials can be used, they must be organized for use. A knowledge of the mechanics of librarianship is fundamental to effective work in any library. For the capable assistant familiarity with the underlying aspects of library science and practice is advisable; for the library executive it is indispensable. An intimate understanding of the mechanics of engineering is assumed in the engineer, so a thorough knowledge of the mechanics of librarianship is to be expected of the true librarian. The technical work of a library covers such activities as book selection, ordering, accessioning, classification, cataloging, indexing and filing. While practice in different libraries may vary, the principles upon which the technical work of the library rests are fairly well determined. In the past development of the collections of a library was a somewhat haphazard process. Number of volumes was a dominant consideration. Conditions to-day are different, and as time goes on it may be safely assumed that greater attention will have to be paid to the selection and ordering of library material. It is quite evident that the printing press plays a very prominent part in our daily life. It must also be apparent that the amount of printed matter that is continually being turned out by the...

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA state-of-the-art guide to the world of library and information science that gives readers valuable insights into the field and practical tools to succeed in it. As the field of information science continues to evolve, professional-level opportunities in traditional librarianship—especially in school and public libraries—have stalled and contracted, while at the same time information-related opportunities in non-library settings continue to expand. These two coinciding trends are opening up many new job opportunities for LIS professionals, but the challenge lies in helping them (and LIS students) understand how to align their skills and mindsets with these new opportunities.The new edition of G. Kim Dority's Rethinking Information Work: A Career Guide for Librarians and Other Information Professionals gives readers helpful information on self-development, including learning to thrive on change, using key career skills like professional networking and brand-building, and how to make wise professional choices. Taking readers through a planning process that starts with self-examination and ends in creating an actionable career path, the book presents an expansive approach that considers all LIS career possibilities and introduces readers to new opportunities. This guide is appropriate for those embarking on careers in library and information science as well as those looking to make a change, providing career design strategies that can be used to build a lifetime of career opportunity.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMusic librarianship¿a profession that brings joy and satisfaction to many¿is subject to constant change that requires, in turn, continual adaptation from its practitioners so that they become comfortable with new technologies and formats, changing standards, and fresh approaches. Relevant and solid training and education are crucial to success in this field, but they alone are insufficient to guarantee placement or promotion. Recent economic shifts have created additional instability, leaving graduates from programs in librarianship sometimes unemployed and with little feedback about the quality of their experience and education while their employed counterparts likewise have little knowledge of their skills¿ relevance to the current job market. Knowledge of training, education, and current employer expectations for music librarians can help ease such concerns and pave the way for a successful career or career change. As with the two previous editions of Careers in Music Librarianship, this volume provides career resources and guidance for current and future librarians, as well as insights for mentors and educators working with these populations. With this volume, the contributors provide a selection of readings that can help people in and considering this profession to make realistic, informed, and strategic decisions about how to succeed in it. As the profession changes, so must the professionals within it, and everyone involved with music librarianship will benefit from the guidance offered in this exciting, new book.
