Session Time: 1:00- 2:00 PM
I plan to describe Imposter Syndrome. I will share stories from my own life when I suffered from Imposter Syndrome. Then I will describe what authority is and how we can use it to combat Imposter Syndrome. From there, I will talk about how people who have been in the profession for a while can use conversation as a way to honor the experiences of their new colleagues. I also plan to show how new librarians can think about engaging in conversation.
