Good Orientation Counts
Mossman, Katherine
Library Journal, v130 n11 p46 Jun 2005
In this article, the author addresses the importance of having orientation for new librarians. During their crucial first few weeks on the job, the author claims, new librarians need as much hands-on, real-world training as they can get. If they are ushered to the information desk without an introduction to the staff interface of the catalog or to your databases, they will experience unnecessary stress, and they will remember that the library did not take the time to prepare them. To avoid alienating your new professionals, make them feel welcome by providing immediate and on-point orientation sessions.
