Description
Birthingway College of Midwifery currently has a library staff of one. Recently prior Library Director, Daina Dickman, left for a new opportunity and had to find a quick and thorough way to set up the new incoming Head Librarian, Nora Barnett, for her role as the sole library staff at a unique special library where she would be running all library services and teaching library-related classes. This lightning talk will share both Daina and Nora's experiences, what went well, and what could have been done differently in this transfer of institutional knowledge. This lightning talk aims to share ideas and solutions for other libraries with solo librarians or small staff teams.
