Do you know a rising star in the library and information world? Would you like to see them recognized for their promising achievements? Look no further! ATG Media is thrilled to announce the second annual round of nominations for Up and Comers.
Who exactly is an “Up and Comer”, you ask? They are librarians, library staff, vendors, publishers, MLIS students, instructors, consultants, and researchers who are new to their field or are in the early years of the profession. An Up and Comer can be someone you work with, someone you’ve presented with or shaken hands with at a conference, or someone whose accomplishments and potential you admire. Up and Comers are passionate about the future of libraries. They innovate, inspire, collaborate, and take risks. They are future library leaders and change makers. And they all have one thing in common: they deserve to be celebrated.
The 2018 Up and Comers will be recognized in the December/January issue of Against the Grain and at the First Time Attendees Reception at the Charleston Conference, and 15 of these brilliant rising stars will be profiled in the same issue. In addition, they will be featured in a series of scheduled podcast interviews that will be posted on the ATGthePodcast.com website.
Nominations for the second round of Up and Comers has been extended through October 12th. Don’t wait! Spread the good news, tell your friends and colleagues, and nominate your favorite Up and Comer here.
