Abstract
After seven years as a librarian at a small community college in the Florida panhandle, I accepted a position at one of the largest research universities in the country. After I made this move, I heard from a number of people inquiring how I was handling working at such a drastically different library. Transitioning to a new library can be difficult in any circumstance, but adjusting to such a different institution added new wrinkles. Anyone thinking of making such a change, or supervising anyone making such a change, will find something useful in my reflections.
