12 Librarian’s Guide to Writing for Professional Publication exercises are meant to reinforce the topics covered in each chapter. There is also a section at the back that contains templates that you can refer to. CHAPTER TAKEAWAY In this chapter, we stated the cardinal rules of professional writing: start with a game plan borrow, don’t recreate material that already exists from scratch remember that your goal is to write clearly, not to write well and determine how a writing assignment can benefit you as well as your employer, your professor, or tenure and promotion committee. These goals don’t have to be mutually exclusive. If you can grow as a librarian, you are a more valuable asset to your workplace. NOTE 1.
