The contributors come from schools and colleges, special and corporate archives, public libraries, and seasoned LIS faculty across the United States and abroad who are familiar with the vigor, dedication, and creativity necessary for solo librarians. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs noted in the Foreword, \"In many ways, solo librarianship demands more communication and collaboration than librarians might experience in larger multi-employee libraries.\" Despite the fact that most of the authors are currently working alone in their library or archives, they do not work in a vacuum. These chapters aim to help librarians thrive in the demanding environment that exists for the solo librarian. Topics covered include time management, community involvement, public relations and marketing, professional development, internet-based ideas, administrative tasks, assessing and moving collections, and general overviews. \u003ci\u003eHow to Thrive as a Solo Librarian\u003c\/i\u003e will be useful for all professionals and students in the field of librarianship.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Smallwood\u003c\/b\u003e has worked as a public library systems administrator and consultant, and in school, academic, and special libraries.
