After returning from the ACRL Conference in Pittsburg last week, I'm eager to revive this conversation and hear from others on the topic of PD! Did other NMRT members attend ACRL? What are your takeaways? Even though I thoroughly enjoyed the contributed paper and panel sessions I attended, ...

Bithiah, creating your own cross training opportunities internally is a great idea! Especially if colleagues and your manager are open to the idea, and if there aren't formal development options (or in addition to these opportunities!). Thanks for sharing this example! Hopefully it inspires others to ...

These are great points, Morgan! Serving on committees is such a great way to network. I like that you point out the positive experience you've had with selection committees, in particular, that is great feedback for NMRT members looking to get involved! I've always tried to serve on committees that ...
