Abstract
With a growing trend of hiring "feral librarians" who have PhDs in a subject but no MLIS degree, libraries and librarians adapt their training and orientation for these new librarians. Based on my 2.5 years of experience as feral librarian, I will present some qualities you might want to consider if you plan to hire one and some tips on helping them become the best librarians they can be.
