High on the list of subjects I wish I’d known more about when I
started work was how to get other people to do new things. As the
most recent hire and only person in my library who had ever tried
database searching (this was a very long time ago!), I was made
responsible for all technology-related reference activities. This
work fell under “other duties as assigned,” and the more experienced
librarians seemed quite happy to let the new kid cope with
the new tasks.
