TIPS FOR MOVING FROM ONE SECTOR OF LIBRARIANSHIP TO ANOTHER

Fiona Bradley [University of Technology, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia] has a great post on librariesinteract.info: Blog central for Australian libraries. In How-to: Change Library Sectors, Bradley gives five tips for librarians looking to move “between corporate, government, public, law or academic library sectors.”

1. Study your chosen sector

2. Perform a [personal] skills audit

3. Study the skill set [for the sector you want to move to]

4. Create opportunities [for yourself]

5. Participate in associations and networks

While you're there, look at their list of Australian library blogs.
