Finding Your Voice in the Library Profession: Participating, Presenting, and Publishing

Abstract

Want to get more involved with the library profession but uncertain how to do so? This session, facilitated by 3 librarians, will give you a crash course on presenting, publishing, and participating professionally. We’ll discuss doing poster sessions, planning presentations, finding ways to publish, networking, and joining committees. The presenters have firsthand experience in all of these areas and will share from their adventures, plus provide practical tips relevant to both public and academic librarians that you can immediately try. Librarians can be introverts (us included!) so this session will give you concrete strategies to get involved in the library profession.
