Linda W. Braun is a principal in LEO: Librarians and Educators Online. She provides consulting, training, evaluation, and strategic planning services to libraries in profit and non-profit settings. Much of her work is in managing information related projects for organizations. This includes managing planning and implementation projects, designing and developing web content, and creating and implementing online learning experiences.

Description
In the 21st century being a librarian does not necessarily mean working inside a space called a library. Librarians are using their skills as library information professionals in a variety of roles within organizations and as independent consultants and trainers. Perhaps you are at a time in your career where you are thinking you would like to try one of the “out-of-the” box careers that other librarians have jumped into. But, you might not be sure how to get started in making the transition. This conference will give you the information you need as you begin the process.

The seminar will answer the following questions:
  • How do I market my skills as a library information professional in new and unique ways?
  • For what job titles and descriptions are my library information skills best suited?
  • What are some examples of how other library information professionals are using a library degree?
  • What steps you should take to guarantee success in order to take on a new role outside of the traditional library professional box?
