Product Overview
This guide breaks down the components of government documents librarianship into manageable, easy to understand parts. Lisa Ennis, a tried by fire documents librarian, begins by looking at career opportunities in both Federal Depository Libraries (FDLs) and non-depository libraries with government document collections. She discusses skills and traits; networking and training options; managing and administering people, paperwork, and collections; and both public service and technical service issues. She provides essential background on the GPO and the FDLP, covering the shift to a digital environment and publication of the new Electronic FDL Manual. Ennis s informative coverage is matched by an enthusiastic can-do approach that will appeal to any librarian considering or already engaged in government documents work.
