Many of the individuals who will shape the future of libraries can be found at library schools around the world. For those pursuing - or interested in pursuing - graduate study in library and information science, the Hack Library School blog may be of interest. Founded in 2010 by a group of library science students interested in "taking the future of librarianship into their own hands," this blog features advice about library schools and entering the library profession (e.g. "Getting Through a Group Project" or "Tips for Attending Big Conferences"), reflections about the field (e.g. "Imposter Syndrome as a Barrier to Library Use"), and a regular Weekly Round-Up to keep readers abreast of news, conferences, and developments in the library world. While written explicitly by and for library students, the Hack Library School blog may also appeal to instructors, prospective students, or anyone interested in the state of the field through students' eyes.
