Live Interview Series: So You Wanna...Change Library Types? (PEGA-SIS)Wednesday, March 29, 2023 (12pm - 1pm US/Central) |
Join the Professional Engagement, Growth, & Advancement SIS (PEGA-SIS) for another webinar in their Live Interview Series. There are many types of library models, including firms, government and academic libraries, and we don't have to be locked to a single type when we enter this field. In this "So You Wanna...?" interview, Sabrina Davis, the current PEGA-SIS Chair will talk with three librarians who have all changed library types, and discuss the differences between those types, how you can decide to change types, what resources you can use to change types, and more.
Speakers:
Meg Kribble is currently a Research & Knowledge Manager at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
