For some it's another notch in your resume, for others it is a means to get more involved. Whoever you are, let me tell you what ELD can mean for you and how you can get involved.
Librarianship is no longer static or safe.
Innovative information technologies have brought opportunities, but they have also introduced a crowd of newcomers who have discovered information and see librarians as kindly, quiet and obsolete. ELD members include forward looking innovators, experts who help guide our members and our profession in the possibilities of these new tools. This sense of tradition and possibility is what we work to convey in our conferences and our publications. Questions about budget cuts, moving a collection, or accreditation reports. A community that supports your professional development by providing an opportunity to publish or to join a committee.
