In the decade and a half since the first edition of this resource appeared, the number of librarians working in nonlibrary positions has increased dramatically. The new edition presents the stories of more than 60 librarians who have entered alternative careers. Many of those careers are related to those in traditional library settings, such as positions in bookselling and publishing and in organizations providing services and products to libraries. A large section of the book relates the stories of librarians engaged as independent library contractors and heading their own library-related companies. The final three sections cover some who have moved beyond librarianship to such related areas as association management, imaging technology, and, farther afield, private investigation. Although each chapter presents one person's story, together the chapters include information and guidance for any librarian interested in pursuing an alternative career. Edward Swanson
