It will do so by making suggestions for how librarians can orient themselves to their new library, add context to their CV or resume, get started with presenting and publishing, and manage culture shock and emotions. Each chapter will also provide the opportunity for the librarian to refl ect on relevant aspects of their own situation and move forward with the help of action items.
