[Libs-Or] New Book at the State Library: Becoming an Independent Information Professional

[Donna Cohen]

In regard to the book Arlene mentioned that the state library now has. there
is a wonderful organization called the Association of Independent
Information Professionals. People from various backgrounds involved in a
variety of information work are members. I've been a member for many years -
now Emeritus. The best thing may be the email list where people can interact
with other infopros from all over the world.

 

I would encourage anyone interested in independent information work to check
it out.
