Beyond Retention: Mechanisms to Support Librarian Job and Career Success and Longevity (ASERL) Online
A recent IMLS funded grant project investigated the factors that impact librarians’ retention in the library and information science (LIS) field. Through a nation-wide survey and the completion of 30 semistructured interviews, the project found that while retention to the field was a concern for many participants, the more salient concern was retention within their current jobs. This session will highlight the factors identified as most impactful for retaining librarians both in their positions and in the field, as well as the contextual factors that supported resiliency. The presenters will engage participants in conversation around how individuals and organizations can respond to these factors and work collaboratively to better support librarian job and career retention.
