Day in the Life

Shontz and Murray are editor and assistant editor of popular Web site LIScareer.com. Shontz has written two other books on the subject of careers in library and information science, but this one is a bit different in that she has librarians in the field tell us what it's really like to do what they do. Contributors write about more than 90 unique jobs, what their typical workdays are like, the pros and cons of their positions, how one would go about getting a job like theirs, and resources that correspond to positions like theirs. The book is an interesting read for those thinking of a career change or interested in pursuing a new direction in the field of library and information science. There are some positions that most readers probably wouldn't think of, such as "Golf Librarian" and "Web Marketing Coordinator." Donaldson, Christy.
