Is consulting for you?: a primer for information professionals

What is consulting, exactly?

The outlook : is consulting a viable option for librarians? is the library market viable for other types of consultants?

The realities of life as a consultant

Personal characteristics : is consulting a good fit?

Business planning : is there a market? and a living? for me?

Getting ready : the building blocks

Getting "out there" : marketing a personal brand

Proposals and contracts : documenting the business relationship

So tell me : what's it really like : postscript: go for it - with passion!?
