This manual guides library and information professionals through each step of creating a resume that describes their personal histories (including accounting for periods of unemployment), defines their job objective, connects their skills and experiences with that objective, and helps them reach their goals. Dozens of real resumes from all types of librarians (academic, public, school, special etc) are provided as models for librarians in nearly every specialty. Versions for library school students and for those moving to non-traditional library jobs are also included. A final checklist to make sure everything is in order, an appendix of action verbs, chapters on using computers to create resumes, keeping your resume sharp, and cover letters - plus a foreword by Maureen Sullivan - are further additions to this guide.

Library Journal Review

Newlen, ALA Executive Board and management specialist at the Library of Congress Congressional Research Service, offers a practical approach to preparing résumés, guiding readers through the difficult process of answering key questions that must be addressed in any résumé. Twenty-eight sample résumés are all explained and specifically tailored to diverse library settings, including academic, public, law school, and special libraries, as well as to different interests of library school students, recent library school graduates, experienced librarians, and librarians moving into nontraditional jobs. The advice here is solid, including the present view on not putting personal information in a résumé, keeping a résumé up-to-date, using software to build and update the file, as well as a short section on cover letters. In addition, computer template file versions of the book samples are available from the publisher ($20 for the disk alone, $55 for combined book and disk). This is an excellent job-search tool directly related to the special needs of librarians.‘Dale F. Farris, Groves, TX (c) Copyright 2010.
