A Leadership Primer for New Librarians: Tools for Helping Today's Early-Career Librarians Become Tomorrow's Library Leaders

摘要

This book describes what librarians want from a library leader, and it attempts to do that through discussion and anecdotes about how the authors, and their invited guest writers, have become leaders themselves. The authors' collaboration began with their presentation of a paper on leadership (and "followership" - more of which later) to the Australian Library and Information Association's New Librarians Symposium in 2006. As well as being based on their own experiences, the authors, first as early-career librarians themselves, and further, as managers and leaders now, enlisted the advice and suggestions of others by surveying through the medium of new librarians' listservs.
