It seemed that each of the continuing professional development sessions I went to were full house and standing room only. We had the Librarian from Business and Informatics Library in Illinois talking about redefining librarian roles and services one afternoon.
They are taking outreach very seriously and pushing the boundaries of what a librarian is - they have redesigned their service and engagement model and repositioned themselves in the University . The Librarians now play a key role as career consultants. It seems to be working and at Illinois and the Library are now being invited to partner on other initiatives because of this. The speaker ended with the comment that others are entering our domain so why are we so scared to go into others domains??? Food for thought??
