The Resident will serve on library committees as appropriate including the Diversity Committee and search committees as well as be assigned other activities such as liaison responsibilities. Professional development is a strong component of the Residency program, which includes conference attendance, interaction and participation in the University Libraries Mentoring Program, and collaboration with UNCG Library and Information Studies Department.
