Hello All! My New Year's Resolution is to really be judicious in what I'm taking on. I have quite a few responsibilities amping up and rolling off this year. I need to be very aware when I start to off load these duties and be careful when taking things on afterwards. Sometimes, I tend to take on too ...

Hello All! I've started in a few libraries (two public and one academic) and at different points in my career. At my first library, I started as a paraprofessional in my early 20s. I started with a small cohort of others hired at the same time, and honestly those became some of my closest friends at ...

What a great topic! Conferences can seem intimidating and it can be hard to know where to start- especially if you are by yourself, or only a few of you are coming from your library. When pre-planning what sessions to go to be realistic! It can be hard to attend two sessions concurrently (are they ...

I think that Emily's suggestion of Twitter (for those that use the platform) is great! I see librarians engaging on Twitter frequently. I'm more of an observer on Twitter- it's never been my platform of choice. Any time I've found success with networking, I've been a member of a book committee. I was ...

I think that there are different "levels" of networking- there is local networking, within your library system/cohort, and within your community. For example, outreach and connection with local schools was a large part of my previous job (with a public library as a children's librarian) and that work ...

Imposter syndrome can be really hard to identify and then rectify. I recently started a new job in a different part of the field (public to academic library) and it's hard to know if I truly am not understanding the assignment or if I am doing well. I spent a decent amount of time in public libraries ...
