We have collaborated for eight years as co-chair of the New Librarians Discussion Group and director of the ACRL/NY Mentoring Program of the Association of College and Research Libraries Greater New York Metropolitan Area chapter (ACRL/NY). In this capacity, we regularly hold workshops and events for library students, job seekers, new librarians, and for seasoned librarians who are looking to recharge.
As most of you probably know, the theme for the April 2021 ACRL conference is “Ascending Into an Open Future.” We are interested in convening a panel to discuss what librarians’ career development and job seeking might look like in such a future. How will “open” impact the way library and staff positions are defined or refined, advertised, sought, and secured? How will career trajectories shift as “open” becomes more prominent in higher education?
If you have ideas about how you might contribute to this exciting panel discussion, please complete this brief form by 3pm Eastern time on Tuesday 5/5.
We look forward to hearing from you!
