Description:
What makes residency programs a worthwhile investment for both university libraries and early-career librarians? Shira Greer, Katya Mueller, and Cas Saroza will present on their work as NC State Libraries Fellows, each reflecting on their experiences at different stages of their fellowships. They will highlight the diverse and innovative strategic initiatives they lead at the Libraries as well as how their interdisciplinary work impacts the organization as a whole. Each presenter will offer unique insights on making the most of each phase of a residency and maximizing available opportunities. Participants are invited to ask questions about each project and fellow at the end of the session.
