Continuous learning and retooling of skills are essential for library employees as new technologies emerge and the needs of our users evolve. How do we deploy — and teach — artificial intelligence in our information services and landscapes? How do we engage with a diverse community of information seekers and information providers? What new technical frameworks and programming languages do we need to keep our tools useful and up to date? What new services are needed as technology changes how users interact with us? What best practices can we include to ensure our campus is getting the best support we can offer? What content do we need to purchase to better meet the needs of our researchers and the curriculum as it changes? All of these challenges require ongoing and timely professional development opportunities for our staff.
