Discussion Den: Professional Panorama: A Deep Dish Between Law Librarians in Different Law Library Types

Do you want to learn more about what your colleagues do in other library types? We will have an open discussion about the roles that law librarians have in academic, government/court, and private libraries. Come together to share information about our different roles and day-to-day responsibilities, professional development opportunities, challenges in the workplace, and ways that we can support each other.

This session is an opportunity to ask questions you have always wondered regarding different library types, from a direct source, in an informal and open setting. Librarians who are curious to learn more about how other library types operate can also share their own professional experiences and help us create a vibrant and informative conversation. Our expectation is that this cross-sector discussion will lead to more open lines of communication and inspire more cooperation among legal information professionals.

Informal Discussion Den chats will be held throughout the conference in addition to regular programs. Designed to be conversational rather than presentational, these 45-minute dialogues are an opportunity to brainstorm, sound off, and share challenges, experiences, and ideas in a smaller, informal setting.
