Chaired by the executive Director of the American Association of Research Libraries, Elliot Shore, it will include two current and two former postdoctoral fellows of the Council on Library and Information Resources. The five participants will share their views on this career path and offer suggestions for current PhD students in the humanities and humanistic social sciences.
