Check out Longshots #177 Bringing a Youthful Vision to ALA (August 5, 2009), Sarah Long’s interview with ULS Vice Chair Kim Leeder.
Summary from the Library Beat website:
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. They also talk about how Kim established herself so quickly in her new profession and what drew her to ACRL.
In the next year ULS will be initiating several new committees in order to create more opportunities for ULS members to be active in the section while also expanding ULS’s contributions to university librarianship.
What will those committees be? We want you to tell us.
Vote now! via our one-question Surveymonkey poll.
