“…Project management remains a skill set that is in strong demand, not only in project management as a profession and career [7], [8], but also in other professions such as banking [9], construction management [10], information technology [11], [12], librarianship [13], [14], operations research [15], supply chain management (SCM) [16], and technical communication [17]. One study found that approximately 37% of jobs being recruited for in one professional field require project management skills [15].…”

New graduates are often placed into project management roles, but may face challenges in these roles. This study surveyed managers from Brazilian organizations and gathered information on the environment, practices and results of projects where new graduates were in project management roles. In-depth interviews were executed with a subset of these managers to further collect insights into issues surrounding new graduates’ performance in project management. This paper examines the preparation and performance of new graduates in project management roles. It addresses specific project management skills and competencies that are involved in delivering successful projects and how these relate to project success or failure. The conclusions determined that new graduates are often not fully prepared for project management roles and fail to conduct comprehensive project preparations, often missing risk management; their soft skills are not fully developed creating further challenges; and the corporate environment towards project management may not lead to developing well-prepared project managers.

“…Advertisements have also been used to examine entry-level positions in specific subfields or specializations. For example, Clark (2013) examined job postings for entry-level music librarians and Baker et al (2013) used both job advertisements and the outcome of job searches to draw conclusions about the desired qualifications of entry-level science and technology librarians in academic libraries. In each of these studies, job advertisements provided useful insight into the experiences of entry-level librarians searching for their first position.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine advertisements for part-time professional library jobs in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The goal is to gain a better understanding of what skills and experience levels are being required of part-time librarians, as well as what their expected salary and hours might be. Design/methodology/approach – Advertisements for part-time professional library positions were collected from online sources over the course of one year. Findings – Part-time librarian positions tend to be public services positions in either public or academic libraries. Advertisements for these position indicate a need for flexibility and often do not contain information about salary or hours. Many are suitable for entry-level librarians with no experience. Research limitations/implications – Job advertisement studies are limited in that they can only examine the information contained in the advertisements themselves and therefore may not reflect the actual person hired. Practical implications – This paper will provide useful information for librarians seeking part-time positions, as well as for library and information science educators and library managers who wish to mentor or hire new librarians. Originality/value – This paper corrects an identified lack of research into part-time library employment.

“…The library and information science (LIS) profession is undergoing a time of transition. Positions for LIS graduates in "traditional" library-based settings are becoming increasingly rare (Demers et al 2014;Clark 2013;Szkolar 2012;Fialkoff 2009;Stronski 2004). At the same time authors are highlighting the myriad opportunities available to LIS graduates in the information economy (Fagerheim 1999;Hovendick 2009).…”

This poster addresses how library andinformation science (LIS) graduates who work in non-library roles label themselves. The LIS community as the profession is undergoing a time of transition. Given the changing nature of the work that is being performed by LIS graduates both inside and outside of libraries, the timing is appropriate to explore how practitioners choose to label themselves as professionals. LIS graduates working in non-library roles where selected as the target population of this study because their work provides them with myriad possibilities for self-labelling. Participants exhibited four response patterns which are described and discussed.
