The Associate University Librarian Handbook A Resource Guide

Associate university librarians are charged with running the various services and workflows of academic research libraries allowing head university librarians to focus on acquiring resources through fundraising and external public relations. Although the positions of assistant or associate university librarian and dean are considered a training ground for upward movement in the profession, there are surprisingly few mentoring experiences available. The Associate University Librarian Handbook: A Resource Guide fills that gap.
