Moderated by Vicki Gruzynski and Erin Leach
Please join us for an e-forum discussion. Its free and open to everyone!

Eastern: 10 a.m. 6 p.m.
Congratulations, new graduate! You've finished your classes, completed
your internship, sat for exams, and now you have your diploma. So...now
what? May's e-forum will focus on the challenges and opportunities new
library school graduates face when starting their careers as librarians.
Topics will include: finding a mentor, job seeking, transitioning from
student to working librarian, and more. While this discussion is focused
on navigating the post-library school world, we welcome the perspective
of current library school students and librarians who are not currently
new graduates. Join us for an exciting discussion on navigating life
after library school!

What Is an e-Forum?
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free.
