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.
