Surviving as a Low Level Wizard in a World Full of Really Sharp Objects

***** 5 years ago 0

Short Session Description:

Even librarians who have successfully completed graduate programs in library and information science and obtained employment often find that their education has under-prepared them for the challenges of the profession. And information professionals who have been in the field for years will still reflect upon what they WISH they had learned in library school. The program director for the MS LIS program at the school of Information Sciences at UIUC will lead this discussion encouraging thoughts from the field about how LIS curricula might be expanded and reshaped to ensure thriving (and surviving!) new professionals.

Session Format and Style: Discussion roundtable

Takeaways: contribution to development of prominent LIS program; opportunity to share experiences and perspectives with peers
