Information Literacy Group New Professionals

The UK's Information Literacy Group has a New Professionals subcommittee. They summarise plans in this blog post: https://infolit.org.uk/ilg-new-professionals-exciting-plans-for-2022/ They plan to
- Collect examples of IL projets for a digital showcase (I blogged that previously)
- Have randomised coffee meetups
- Have a podcast "We aim to produce a podcast later this year, with interviews taking place throughout the summer months. Our goal is to release each episode on a weekly (or fortnightly) basis then from the first week of September on" and they are looking for interviewees.
They define a New Professional as "A current student or recent graduate of a Library course, or anyone new to a library job (<~5yrs experience)" although stress that it's a flexible definition.
