ACRL New Members Discussion Group Program: Personal Branding for New Librarians

Date: Saturday January 8
Time: 10:30 AM - 12 PM
Location: HIL-Aqua 304

Join us for the exciting, informal, and lively panel discussion about personal \
branding and digital identity for new librarians at ALA 2011Midwinter at San Diego!

Many new and budding librarians make personal branding attempts online
by setting up and maintaining a professional blog and/or using other social media \
tools such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. for networking and to learn more \
about librarianship. However, not many librarians succeed in creating their distinct \
digital identities, continuing the efforts at personal branding, and establishing \
their own personal brands online. What is and should be the purpose of personal \
branding? What are some of the benefits and pitfalls of engaging in personal branding \
activities? How can you successfully establish and manage your digital identity and \
personal brand online? How do you draw a line between your public identity and your \
privacy? How do you find time to continuously develop your personal brand along with \
your professional growth?

The four panelists who have been actively managing their personal brands will discuss \
their thoughts on personal branding and offer strategies, tips, and advice for new \
librarians. At the program, helpful guides and further information for new and \
budding librarians to start their own personal brands will also be provided.
