1. FINDING A MENTOR

How Can I Find a Professional Mentor in the Library Field? 3. Annual Conferences: - Socials - Seminars 4. SLIS Programs: - USC - Need to be ALA- Accredited 1. Work Organizations: - Committees and Groups - Staff Organizations 2. Library Groups: - Committees - Round Tables - Mentoring Programs

2. READING THE LITERATURE

How Do I Get Access to Relevant Literature for Librarians? 1. Scholarly Journals and Trade Publications - American Libraries - Booklist - Library Hotline - Public Libraries - Library Journal - Journal of Academic Librarianship - College & Research Libraries - School Library Journal - Publisher’s Weekly Newsletters: AL Direct, Staff Newsletters - Listservs - Groups: SCLA 3. Social Media - Twitter - Facebook - Instagram

3. COLLABORATION & TEAMWORK

Why is Teamwork So Important? - Enhanced Knowledge - Efficiency - Highlight Your Skills - Favor Economy

How Do I Collaborate? - Broadcast your willingness to help, informally or through management. - Go Beyond your Building Walls - Make your own Team

4. ADAPTABILITY & FLEXIBILITY

Why Should I Be Flexible? - Libraries (and the world) are in a constant state of flux. - Necessary 21st century professional skill. - Adaptability makes it easier to move between jobs. - Don’t get left behind. - Varied Patron/Customer Needs - Vital to collaboration.

How Can I Adapt? - Focus on the importance and the benefits of flexibility. - Make a conscious effort to absorb new ideas, insights. - Deliberate cross-training. - Avoid becoming “too” specialized. - Relax!

5. BECOME A LEADER

What Makes a Good Leader? - Initiative - Innovation - Proactive - Results Oriented

Leadership Roles - “Leadership is not just a matter of position or authority; it should occur at multiple levels within an organization.” – DeLong, “Good Leadership skills will enhance any librarian’s individual career and the profession as a whole.” – Cromer, “Self-awareness is considered one of the first areas to focus on when planning one’s own leadership growth.” – Watson, 2014

Examples - Technology Competency Requirement - Digital Library Metadata - Plagiarism Prevention Workshops - Leisure Reading Collection - Workshops Day for Librarians and Educators - Library Games Committee

6. BE PERSISTENT

Challenges/Obstacles - Request for a new program or instruction session. - Monotony- Plagiarism Prevention Workshops example. - Too many spinning plates.

Avoid Burnout - Specialize in one or two areas and then change focus every so often. - Try something new- attend workshops and conferences to gain new ideas. - Exercise and healthy eating. - Change is good.
