Sarah talks with recent MLIS graduate Kim Leeder, Reference & Instruction Librarian at Boise State University and Vice Chair for the University Libraries Section of ACRL . Kim shares her experiences as a new librarian working in a long-standing library association, and talks about what traditional library organizations have to offer new librarians, and what new librarians have to offer in return.
