Abstract

Join us for an interactive session discussing the everexpanding and ever-changing skillsets needed to navigate gallery, library, archives, and museum (GLAM) career paths. The panelists will explore the skills and experiences that helped them transition into and out of archival positions. How can professionals fill gaps in their knowledge when starting new positions or assuming additional responsibilities? What training and experiences can be brought into GLAMs from other careers? Why is the profession changing and how have professionals adapted? Panelists will speak to the personal satisfaction derived from taking the leap to new paths, and invite attendees to join in a lively exchange of ideas about the uncertainty and challenges involved in the evolution of contemporary career paths.
