ALCTS e-Forum: So you’ve got your MLS. Now what?

Monday, May 11 and Tuesday, May 12, 2015

Moderated by Vicki Gruzynski and Erin Leach

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

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.
