When: April 9th at 2pm EST/11am PST via Zoom (recording posted below)
Join us to learn about the unacknowledged economic disparities related to professional development & service for academic librarians. We're calling this phenomena the SERVICE CEILING. This panel is made up of academic librarians from a variety of institutions across the country who conducted a 2020 survey of 670 U.S. academic librarians on the cost of participation in professional development and service, particularly as they relate to promotion and tenure. Panelists will:
discuss key findings from this survey,
invite audience members to share the costs of their own participation in professional development and service, and
offer concrete suggestions for participants to advocate for equitable professional development at their institutions.
