Where is the common ground between our roles in organizations like ACRL and
our day-to-day work as academic librarians? How can we translate our
professional service into practical skills during the 9 to 5?

ACRL’s New Members Discussion Group is seeking panelists for our upcoming
moderated conversation at ALA Midwinter 2013, which will discuss the
relationship between our professional careers and our day jobs.

Topics may include leveraging organizational experience at work (or vice
versa), balancing one's job and one's professional involvement, getting
involved on a small budget, publishing or presenting about the workplace at
conferences, maintaining a professional network to improve one's work
performance, and more. Be creative! The dynamics of the discussion will be
driven by the unique experiences of the panelists.

If you are interested in speaking on this panel, please complete the
submission form available at:

*Submissions will be accepted until November 2, 2012 and all candidates
will be notified whether they were selected by November 9, 2012.*
