Librarian's Professional Practice Nicola Franklin

Professional Practice: What They Don't Teach You On Your Information Management Masters Course is an invaluable addition to your continuing professional development toolkit. When you start your first professional post after qualifying, there is a confusing array of things to learn. Many of these are technical library, information or records management skills, but some are more generic 'transferable skills'. Great to have - but how do you acquire them? Professional Practice gives you the knowledge and tools (including worksheets, check-lists and exercises) to get to grips with; giving presentations, networking, getting organised, understanding your values and skills, job hunting, social media, marketing, building a business case and moving into management.
