Practice Makes Perfect (Or, At Least Better!), P. S. Mcmillen
Practice Makes Perfect (Or, At Least Better!), P. S. Mcmillen
Library Faculty Publications
I teach people to use library resources more effectively; however, the skills I’ll talk about below are useful when working with any adult audiences. This is not a comprehensive guide to teaching or public speaking, rather, it is a summary of some of the main ideas and practices that help me. I used to be so scared when I talked in front of other people — even a small group of people — that I would turn bright red and break out in a sweat. I couldn’t look people in the eye; I read from my notes; I stumbled over …

Library Faculty Publications
While many come to librarianship from other careers, I made my third major career change to the profession after a somewhat atypical process.

Time And The Academic Librarian, Jeanne M. Brown
Library Faculty Publications

Although the literature gives some idea of average time allocated, a more detailed view is obtained through examination of one librarian’s seven-year accumulation of daily time logs. The log as a method for achieving balance and the goal of balance itself are explored.
