TEACHING TO THE TEAM

摘要

By the time most library leaders reach their top management positions, they've been out of library school for a while and can take a long view on how their time there shaped their first job, their work supervising new librarians, and their experience at the helm. Others come from the business world and have a unique perspective on library education, often having taken a degree when already high up in a library organization to qualify for a director's role. Either way, they can have strong views about what library schools should be doing to prepare the kind of employees they're looking for, what graduates should know to transition successfully to library work, and how schools and libraries can collaborate to produce prosperous graduates. LJ spoke with leaders nationwide to get their opinions about today's library education and wish list for the future.
