"Like many librarians I know, continual learning is a big part of our careers; we’re curious and interested in learning. But what comes with time and experience is the confidence and expertise to perform our jobs at a higher level." - Justin Fuhr

"Women made up 82.5% of librarians as of 2023 according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024a), but they are underrepresented in leadership positions (McGeeney, 2025)."

One of the most interesting part of any conference is listening in to the convos going on around you. And what I am hearing from librarians is uncertainty. Budget cuts. “I hope I’ll still have a job later this year.” SUPPORT YOUR LIBRARIES! #ALAAC25

New on ACRLog... Conference Methods: Are there other options? "As I sit here preparing myself for a weekend of ALA Annual, I find myself ruminating once again on other modes of conferencing and what is gained or lost depending on how a conference is organized." bit.ly/3ZSiPdp #alaac25
