If you’re within the first five years of the profession or a student just beginning your career in the field, please join the FFY community! Any advice you have will be really helpful to the SLA FFY council as they plan out 2015 programming and start thinking about 2016.
And whether you identify yourself as an SLA FFY community member or not, please join the conversation! Follow SLA FFY on Twitter,LinkedIn, Facebook, and the SLA FFY blog.
