It’s not an easy time to hold on to one’s traditional beliefs, values, skills, and interests when the very profession that once fit them so well is in constant flux. What do you do? How do you remain relevant to your patrons and to your organization? Just as importantly, how do you make sure the very users who need your help know what it is you can do for them?
From taking an inventory of your skills and mapping them to a needs assessment of your users, to developing your message and creating a coordinated campaign to get the word out, the 2017 MAHSLIN Annual Meeting will help you ensure that you’re doing everything you can to remain relevant in today’s environment.
