Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: In tight fiscal times, travel expenses add up fast and can make it seem impossible to attend conferences and continue one’s professional development after obtaining the MLS. There are many practical benefits to be gained from focusing on involvement in local and regional conferences and organizations. Not only do these organizations offer greater opportunity for leadership and mentoring, but also for networking with professionals who face similar issues and concerns with local funding.
