\n<\/em>The NMRT listserv is the place to go for information on what is happening and what is on the minds of librarians new to the profession and association. Calls for committee members, newsletter submissions, scholarship opportunities, professional development and conference events are posted on NMRT-L<\/a>. Don’t miss out!<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Conducted via NMRT-L, this is a great way to discuss issues important to early career librarians. Past topics have included negotiating salaries, the interview process, networking, and publishing.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Whether you are a recent graduate or looking to move up, have your resume and cover letter reviewed by experienced professionals in the field. This service is offered via email to NMRT members all year, and in-person during the Midwinter Meeting and Annual Conference to all attendees.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Want to contribute and do something meaningful? Consider joining one of NMRT’s 20+ committees. Help other new members find their way to professional development and networking opportunities and learn more about what NMRT can do for you in the process.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Connecting with friends and colleagues via Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn? Why not add NMRT and keep up with members as well. Join the NMRT group on Facebook and LinkedIn, and follow alanmrt on Twitter. ALA Connect<\/a> offers another way to get to know NMRT members.<\/p>\n
\nFootnotes<\/a> is the round table newsletter published online four times a year. We want to publish your on the job experiences, news items, and reports on conference events. Look for a call for submissions on NMRT-L or contact the Footnotes Editor with your article idea.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>In addition to the great professional development sessions offered, conferences are a great way to meet other librarians face-to-face or virtually. NMRT offers opportunities to meet others and have a good time doing it. Attend one of our programs, social gatherings, receptions, or information sessions at ALA’s Annual Conference and Midwinter Meeting.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>If you need a mentor for one year or one conference, NMRT can help match you up. Year long mentoring can help with new job advice, while conference mentoring can assist with what sessions would be most valuable for you and how to get around. NMRT mentors are friendly people ready to help!<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>Going the ALA Annual Conference for the first time (or it’s been a while)? Attend the NMRT Conference Orientation or NMRT Conference 101. The Midwinter Meeting your first in-person event? Join us at the NMRT Conference Orientation.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>NMRT annually provides scholarships, grants, and awards to defray the cost of travel to the Annual Conference. These include the 3M\/NMRT Professional Development Grant, the Shirley Olofson Memorial Award, and the Student Chapter of the Year Award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
