Mike Crumpton and Kathy Bradshaw of the University Libraries Contribute to New Book

Contributions from Assistant Dean for Administrative Services Michael A. Crumpton and Human Resources Librarian Agnes K. Bradshaw at UNCG are featured in a new book, Revolutionizing the Development of Library and Information Professionals: Planning for the Future

Editor Samantha Hines says “the genesis of this book came when, as the immediate past president of a library association, I had to face the difficult challenges of dwindling membership and conference attendance. I was finally able to put into words the overarching question I had for several years: “Why do library workers attend conferences?” This book answers that question in my chapter, but also goes on to address other areas of professional development for library workers from several authors who work in many different types of librarianship.”
