Cover of "The Successful Academic Librarian"

Congratulations to friends and colleagues Gwen Gregory, McKinley Sielaff, and Anna Gold on the publication of The Successful Academic Librarian: Winning Stratgeies from Library Leaders.

Gwen and McKinley are current colleagues of mine. Gwen edited the collection and co-authored a chapter entitled “Faculty Status, Promotion and Tenure – What Are You Getting Into?” while McKinley wrote the chapter “What Have You Been Up To?” on documenting your career.

Anna Gold, who was my boss and mentor when she was head of the Science & Engineering Library University of California, San Diego (she’s now Head of the Engineering and Science Libraries at MIT) wrote the chapter on “Moving to the Academy in Mid-Career.”

I have just started reading the book, and it looks like a valuable and useful volume.
