Session Description:
STEM librarians have taken a lead role in demonstrating the range of opportunities for academic librarians. By recasting their roles outside of the library, they have demonstrable influence in the classroom and in labs, as advocates for community engagement, and as designers of research & instruction development opportunities. But, what makes STEM librarians positioned to lead this way? What specific skills do they have? How can we ensure new librarians are being funneled into STEM academic librarianship paths? To answer these questions, this panel will explore how librarians are recasting their roles and renewing their approach to recruitment and training.
