Abstract
Abstract Although new librarians are encouraged to become active in professional association service, they may not understand how this could benefit them or how to begin. This article explains the immediate and long-term benefits of service to the librarian. It also covers finding and selecting service opportunities, serving effectively in those roles, and documenting service activities.
期刊介绍:
College & Undergraduate Libraries enables libraries serving primarily undergraduate students to enhance the range of services, resources, and facilities offered to their constituents while also contributing to staff professional development. Whether focusing on public services, technical services, management, or technology, the journal highlights the fact that undergraduate libraries must collaborate with agencies both on and off campus in order to survive and thrive. In addition to numerous columns on current topics, typical contents include research-based articles, case studies, reports of best practices, an occasional literature review or product review, and opinion pieces.
