Opportunities abound for working professionals committed to expanding their professional knowledge and connections outside of the workplace. Time and resources are limited, however, so it’s often difficult to prioritize among various options. After defining what’s available by way of networking and professional development, we’ll consider how discerning librarians can assess and prioritize opportunities to provide the fuel necessary to forward their professional growth.

In this session, we will cover important information on:

• Identifying relevant goals and strategies for networking and professional development activities;
• Optimizing your use of offline and online tools; and
• Tips for networking at events with style and ease

This is a PCI Webinars event.
