This presentation was delivered at the 2017 CILIP Conference, held in Manchester. Much of the literature about engaging new LIS professionals focuses on individual career success and professional development. However, by taking a whole-of-profession perspective, the purpose of this presentation is to highlight the importance of engaging new LIS professionals in conversation to continue building our body of professional knowledge, as well as identify potential issues associated with new LIS professional involvement.
