Bored with the same old, same old? Looking for a 
more project-oriented style of librarianship? 
Interested in tackling new challenges after 
retirement? Maybe consulting is for you! Then again, maybe not...

Library consultant Joan Frye Williams will share 
the fruits of her 15+ years of full-time 
consulting experience, providing practical 
information about everything you need to get started:
    * In-demand consulting specialties,
    * Necessary skills,
    * Basic business requirements,
    * Proposals and contracts, and, of course!
    * Fees and billing.
If you've ever toyed with the idea of hanging out 
your shingle as a library consultant - or if 
you're just curious about what it might be like 
to pursue this library specialty – this webcast 
will give you an insider's view of the pleasures and pitfalls that await you.
