Abstract
So You Wanna Be a Librarian will be the culmination of the Leadership Academy months-long webinar series. Geared towards iSchool / LIS students though open to anyone, this informal roundtable discussion will center on lived experiences of librarians and archivists working in libraries. Presenters will share their experience interrogating the hierarchy, politics, and bureaucracy attendant to working in academic libraries and higher education. Our intention is to provide pathways for students and early career staff to become successful in the field of librarianship and archives while preserving their authentic selves.
