Session Description:
When applying for one of our Outreach Librarian positions, must be comfortable with ambiguity has become a standard requirement. New and existing librarians are discovering the importance of that mindset as we connect foundational skills and values of librarianship to emerging technologies, creative approaches to outreach, and the cultivation of a fearless mentality when taking on new roles. This presentation highlights five stories of Outreach Librarians – each with their own background and perspective on adopting this aspirational role – shares an organizational culture that encourages success, and guides participants in connecting their needs to organizational goals.
