This session is meant to serve as an introduction to those who are considering or already working for a corporation. I will share my personal experience of taking over a very outdated library for a large, global corporation and transforming the librarian role. Specific topics will include improving library access, on boarding cloud-based services for easy access, practicing embedded librarianship, streamlining librarian activities and practicing customer service in the corporate world. It is meant to be informative and encouraging.
Learning Objectives:
acquire a better understanding of how a library functions in the corporate world and identify ways in which a librarian can stand out.
list and identify areas of their own work that will allow them to practice embedded librarianship as a means to showcase value-added services to company projects.
formulate a plan to identify key areas of their own libraries that may benefit from updates as a means to best serve the company.
