    Book cover for Becoming an Independent Information Professional
    https://www.abc-clio.com/ABC-CLIOCorporate/product.aspx?pc=A5394P
    Many members of the ASGCLA Library Consultant Interest Group contributed to this book, still the only one in publication specifically for library and information professionals.

    Nancy Bolt and Liz Bishoff are conducting their popular "Assembling a Consulting Toolkit: What you Need to Know to be a Successful Library Consultant" all day pre-conference at ALA Annual.  If you have read the book, this pre-conference greatly expands on Chapter One. I am working with ABC-CLIO on offering the book for sale at the pre-conference and hoping for a discount for attendees.  I'll keep you all informed!

    Please share the pre-conference info and the book info with anyone that you know that is interested in Library Consulting.  

    Thanks!!
