I'm lost and need some direction forward

Too bad we didn't meet.

I am a librarian..with a Master's in the discipline. Ah yea, lots of stories..where I've worked as a librarian, all specialized..law, engineering, health care in private and public sectors. I've never worked in a public library where you sign out novels.

I have met librarians from Aussieland..there are some cool fire protection engineering libraries there...

I never dreamt a career would mean to have client groups that included: judges, lawyers, physicians, physiotherapists, engineers, firefighters, ex-police officers, accountants...

It has been ..an incredible journey...like a bike ride. Methinks I shocked a fire chief in southeastern Ontario when we were bike touring and dropped in on the local fire department's BBQ fundraiser. Had a chat with him on the new firefighter competency standard for the province... and resource support.

You can no longer think of just librarians..our reach extends into knowledge management.

PM me anytime.

Ditto!! I work in a college library and public library in technical services. Made a career switch 2 yrs ago. Doing a degree in History(halfway there) and will get a Masters in Library Science after that. I like both types of libraries and do different things for each one. I like special collections and archives too. As Shooting star says, it's not just books anymore, there's a whole cool world of information. Do some research, definately an interesting career. You can most likely do a Masters online from an accredited school. Jenn

p.s. oh yea, my dh is acqusitions librarian for the college library we work at It's a family thing here too. (wink)
