A panel of librarians will discuss how to navigate a career in academic libraries. Panelists will discuss some of the common pitfalls for new librarians, strategies for integrating into an organization, and mapping a career path. The panel is directed at library students looking at prospective careers paths, new hires who are just stepping into the field, or experience librarians starting employment in academic libraries. Join us to hear four librarians engaged in lively and reflective discussion on navigating a career in academic libraries.
Panelists discuss some of the common pitfalls for new hire librarians, strategies for integrating into an organization, and mapping a career path, with comments drawing from their personal experiences. We hope this discussion will be of interest to a broad spectrum of librarians, from new hires to those in mid-career or those planning a move to another institution or sector. There is a Q&A period during the second half.
April 18, 2012 – 6.00PM to 8.00PM
Lillooet Room, 301, at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre
