ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE ACCIDENTAL SYSTEMS LIBRARIAN
"This is a great book
for beginners and veterans alike. From defining what
we do, to what we need to know and how to share our
knowledge, The Accidental Systems Librarian covers
all the bases. If you're curious what it takes to
be a library geek, this is the place to start."
—Blake Carver, LISNews.com
“The perfect primer
for anyone who has to support computer technology
in libraries. Whether you are a systems librarian
by choice or by chance, Gordon’s real-world
examples and practical advice will show you how to
manage your computer systems so that they don’t
manage you!”
—Andrew Mutch, Library
Systems Technician, Waterford Township Public Library
(Michigan)
“The Accidental Systems
Librarian is entertaining, informative, and reassuring.
As a trainer, I am constantly encountering librarians
who were not hired as systems specialists but somehow
found themselves in that role. I will be recommending
this wonderful book to my students.”
—Michael Sauers,
