Imagine, the First Year Experience (FYE) for Academic Librarians! At least, for this librarian. This presentation is about exploring what it is like being a new academic librarian, promoting the field, and showing how it is possible to transfer skills from multiple fields towards academic librarianship. This is for seasoned professionals to share their own first year experience as academic librarians and for students to share what they expect in their first year as academic librarians.
