Never trained as a librarian, I've been thrust into the role in a volunteer capacity. This book is definitely one for folks like me who want to help out but also be professional in doing so. Pick a subject and read a few pages on it. Put it aside for a while and look for something else. It's a great way to absorb all sorts of information. I wouldn't think to speak for those with library degrees but it'd be hard for anyone to not find something of value here.
I am looking forward to a career in libraries although I have worked away from libraries for 10 years, since I got my degree. In order to update my training I have subscribed to several newsletters and blogs and this book has been a super tool. It has short chapters on important topics in libraries written by professionals in the field. As I look at position descriptions I can go to this book and read about issues in librarianship like copyright and about types of librarians. Highly recommended.
