| Program: | "Alternative Career Paths: Independent
Librarian?" presented by Nora Everlove.
We are very pleased to have Nora Everlove address SIS about alternative career paths for librarians. Hope you can join us for this very special evening. "Everlove & Associates offers library services, web design services, intranet and database design, document retrieval, web hosting and computer training throughout Florida, with clients in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Miami, West Palm Beach, Ft. Lauderdale, Stuart, Ft. Pierce, Orlando, Lakeland, Bradenton, Sarasota, Ft. Myers and Naples, as well as Savannah and other parts of the country." [http://www.everlove.net] And in Nora's words, "Everlove & Associates had humble beginnings in 1976. I was twenty-two years old, had graduated from USF, was wrestling with, "What do I do now?" As a student, I had worked for a large Tampa law firm as their librarian. I theorized that for every firm large enough to employ a full-time librarian, there were fifty smaller firms with fifty smaller libraries. They, too, needed experience, talent and education - just not all the time. Luckily, the first attorney I called hired me over the phone. And, I was working full-time within three weeks. In retrospect, it was a blessing I didn't know 90% of all new businesses fail. Since 1976, E&A has grown in clients, services and geographical area. Currently, we are the librarian at over 150 firms and help staff another dozen larger libraries. In this age of "the information explosion," we are constantly upgrading and improving these services. All things are relative but we are one of the oldest and largest library consulting firms in the country! It's exciting work - always in metamorphosis. Our services must be innovative to keep up with our client's needs. Also, we have to be cost-effective to maintain our affordability. In short, we have to be as good as our clients!" |
