Writing for the Profession
Friday, August 27, 2004
Many information professionals, understandably busy with both day-to-day responsibilities and keeping up with our rapidly-changing
field, may feel overwhelmed by the idea of making original
contributions to the profession. One of the best ways to remain
current and connected, however, is by taking the time to contribute
through writing for publication. Our research and writing activities
also allow us to engage in the time-honored library tradition of
sharing information with others — only, in this case, with our
colleagues. Writing for the library literature allows us to stretch
our minds and to think about our profession and where it is headed. It
allows us to contribute to our ongoing professional conversation,
which in turn helps define the underpinnings of our field.FreePint Newsletter 166 - Olympics and Writing, Writing for the Profession
