Serials Career question Dieden, Cynthia 03 Aug 2007 19:08 UTC

Hello-
I am a periodicals supervisor and librarian at a medium-large public library.  I supervise two periodicals clerks, am responsibile for serials control, claims, deletions (we don't bind), new magazines, as well as other collection duties such as selection and weeding.  In addition, I participate on a number of committees and work on public services desks (readers' advisory and reference).  I have very limited cataloging experience.  To get to my question, I am interested in taking another step (possibly into academic libraries) in serials.  Would I be qualified, in general and does anyone have any advice on skills to hone or responsibilities to seek out to take this next step.  Thank you for your assistance.
