New Librarian Summit, August 2-3

Upon completing their graduate studies in Library and Information Science, early career librarians often lack the necessary training and skills to serve their communities and advance as leaders in their field. The need to provide new library professionals ongoing support is pressing and growing.

The organizing committee envisions the NLS as an event that will provide librarians with a space to learn and share from one another. Collectively, attendees acquire leadership skills so they can provide guidance and innovation in knowledge access, information literacy, and technology, thus helping the professional community while developing a more informed citizenry and society. In investing in early career librarians, the impact of NLS is as broad in reach as it is profound in influence.
