National Library and Information Technicians Symposium, 27-29 September 2017 North Sydney: bridge to knowledge
 
This conference paper identifies elements that need to be considered when creating a strategy to future-proof one’s LIS career. These elements include Experience, Networking, Attitude, Foresight, and ongoing, relevant Professional Development. Far from being something to fear, we feel that by embracing the enormous potential that lies before us, and taking steps to adapt and learn, library professionals can indeed flourish in a rapidly changing environment, and seize the enormous opportunity at hand.
