In this article we reflect on our year as RIG Conveners, discuss the disappearance of library residency programs, and the actions that were taken to understand this issue and support residents through this shifting landscape.
We hope you take the time to read the full article and continue to support RIG by registering and attending the Show & Share summer series, a collaborative space for discussing research, projects, activities, and experiences of current and former resident librarians. This programs was developed to take the pulse of residency efforts, document ongoing work, and capture a snapshot of library residency programs.
