istl-1965		STS Issues in Sci/Tech Library Management Discussion Group			.html	text/html	1620	88	58	Catherine Soehner looks first for these three qualities in new librarians: Competency, optimism (because stuff will go wrong) and integrity (because providing information implies responsibility that it be accurate). Methods and suggestions included: joining a mentor program - new librarians are paired up with someone in another unit inviting people to lunch reading the history of the institution getting involved with people and activities outside of the library participating in bus tours or retreats with other new faculty members if these are available; at land grant institutions there might be a tour to become familiar with the state attending faculty development events - e.g. teaching workshops; make connections The final piece of advice to the new librarian was: it's your job - you're responsible now, no matter who had the job before you.	cache/istl-1965.html	txt/istl-1965.txt
