If the COVID-19 pandemic taught librarians anything, it is that having reliable catalogs, websites, guides, and electronic resources is crucial to continuing their mission of service to their patrons. While the move to electronic resources has been growing, so has the reliance on these systems and the ones who oversee them. Brighid Gonzales has written a guide for those interested in becoming or transitioning into systems librarian-ship. As part of the Practical Guides for Librarians series, Systems Librarianship: A Practical Guide is an engaging overview of the complexities and variety of responsibilities a systems librarian may oversee. Sharing her personal experience of coming into a systems librarian position with no formal training in library school, she also shares the experiences of 200 system librarians who participated in a survey she conducted. Several in-depth interviews with some of the respondents end each chapter, further highlighting these experiences.
