Session Description

Intentional on-boarding of new hires into the library’s community is even more important during and post pandemic, where many librarians are finding themselves starting jobs remotely or in a hybrid way. This presentation will detail the experiences of two relatively new hires at UMass Boston and their recommendations for how libraries can successfully provide support to incoming staff/faculty during and post pandemic.
