I'm reading a piece right now by Breanne Kirsch, from the University of South Carolina Upstate. It was recently published in Endnote: The Journal of the ALA New Members Round Table, and it's titled How to Become an Essential Librarian.
It's informally written for a scholarly article, which makes it very easy to read. And it's chock full of good advice on how to make the most of a new career when you're just starting out after graduation. She walks through six essential steps toward becoming a valued and indispensable member of whatever institution you end up library-ing for.
Here's a copy of the PDF - I highly recommend reading it when you have some free time.
Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday break!
