Discussion Invitation: The Future of RIG

  • 1.  Discussion Invitation: The Future of RIG

    Posted 20 days ago

    Hi folks,

    As a follow up to today's RIG General Meeting, the conveners invite you to engage in this post and share your thoughts on the future of RIG.

    Specifically, should RIG broaden its focus beyond residents to all early-career librarians? 

    • What opportunities are possible with this shift?
    • What concerns does this shift cause?
    • What questions do you have about this shift?
    • Should we vote on this?

    Please reply to this post with your comments, we look forward to your input. RIG will continue these discussions in upcoming spring meetings and welcome your ideas, thoughts, comments and concerns to inform our next steps! 

    If you prefer to share your comments privately/directly with the RIG conveners, please email us:
