Book description
This is one of six books comprising 'The Academic's Support Kit'. There is no strict order in which they should be read, but this book is probably as good as any, except that you might read Building Your Academic Career both first and last.
Building Networks addresses perhaps the most slippery of topics, but also one of the most fundamental. Despite the frequent isolation of academic work, it is done in the context of complex, multi-layered global, national, regional and local teaching or research networks. Having good networks is key to achieving what you want in academia. This book describes the kinds of networks that you might build across a range of settings, talks about the pros and cons involved and gives practical guidance on networking activities.
