Our study was designed to explore the onboarding experiences of new academic librarians. Past research tells us that the initial employment period is a crucial time for learning how to be successful in a new organization, establishing professional standing and identity, and for creating organizational engagement. Given the distinct nature and importance of this employment period, we believe it is strategically valuable to optimize the onboarding experience of new academic librarians. It is our belief that investments in onboarding will enhance new employees’ performance, create commitment to organizational goals and build organizational capacity.
