— Mary Ellen Davis, Executive Director, ACRL
As change accelerates especially in higher education how can academic
librarians respond to these changes to ensure they and their libraries
thrive? What are the new roles for librarians and libraries and how can we
prepare and adapt to them? What we learn in graduate school is just the
beginning of a lifelong habit of learning. And we are not learning simply for
learning’s sake, but to support our roles as partners in educating students,

achieving our institutions’ missions, and positioning librarians as campus
leaders in assessment and continuous improvement. If academic librarians
are to develop habits of lifelong learning in our students, how can we do
this if we are not learning ourselves? This session will explore new roles for
academic librarians and how they can prepare for the work ahead.

Olin, Director, Wesley College Robert H. Parker Library
Even a little experience can make it difficult to remember what it was like
to be new in your field, and academic librarians are not immune to this
phenomenon. Novice amnesia is especially problematic when we bring
new librarians into the fold, whether at our own places of employment or
when mentoring at a distance. Mentors and supervisors, often mid-career
and old guard librarians, sometimes have a reputation for liking the status
quo, but this is a helping profession and none of us want to be
exclusionary. As a core value of librarianship, mentoring should be re-
evaluated and re-vitalized. We need to help early career librarians combat
rampant cases of imposter syndrome and we need to encourage the spirit
of true innovation. The quickest and easiest change we can make is to

start owning our mistakes. The willingness to make missteps and learn
from them, and to do so publicly, is one of the biggest things librarians can
do to help other librarians.
