The Ambidextrous librarian, or "you Can Teach a Middle-Aged dog Some new Tricks!".

The article focuses on career changes for mid-career librarians. It draws heavily on the experience of the author who left a position in law librarianship for one in general academic reference and instructional librarianship. The occupational changes one faces when leaving one specialization for another, learning to write professional research papers, and seeking out educational opportunities are discussed. The author suggests librarians remain flexible about job rotation and continue to learn about the various aspects of the profession.
