The new librarianship field guide

This work offers a guide for librarians who see their profession as a chance to make a positive difference in their communities - librarians who recognize that it is no longer enough to stand behind a desk waiting to serve.

R. David Lankes reminds librarians of their mission: to improve society by facilitating knowledge creation in their communities.

In this book, he provides tools, arguments, resources, and ideas for fulfilling this mission.
