About this book

As the baby-boom generation of science and technology librarians begins to retire, training and keeping sci-tech librarians will become even more crucial.

Recruiting, Training, and Retention of Science and Technology Librarians discusses the "replacement gap" problem in libraries, including who should be recruited, how they should be trained, and how to retain them once hired. Several authors address the field's long-standing specialist vs. generalist debate, bringing new data and experience-driven perspectives to this challenging issue.
