[Publib] Advice on Moving from Academic to Public Libraries

[Anna Porter Public Library]

I should also add to the discussion that there is a big difference between small  and large public libraries!

  Subject: [Publib] Advice on Moving from Academic to Public Libraries


  Hi All,

   

  I am new to this list and subscribed because I am hoping to move from an Academic Library where I have worked as a Reference Librarian/Subject Specialist (in areas ranging from Business to Health) to a Public Library. I have been a professional for over 7 years. Can you give me any tips on what to highlight (do publications count or is more about experience, etc), what might I be asked in an interview? I have no PL experience. How difficult is it to transition? 

   

  Thanks for any insight. 

   

  Best,

  Tina
