Currently, libraries are engaged in creating environments that embrace diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). This includes having candidates for hire submit statements regarding their approach to DEI and internal committees to look at policies and procedures regarding DEI. Also, there is a lot of both internal and external training designed to help organizations and their members become more adept at creating environments with DEI in mind. What is often missed in all of this activity is how individual librarians, through mentorship and collaboration, can come together to foster DEI and support each other in success. This field report shows how two librarians, from different backgrounds and experiences came together to not only support each other through their regular work day, but elevate their partnership toward professional success and retention. The report provides recommendations for creating a more inclusive workplace through mentoring and collaboration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Transitioning from one library setting to another library setting can be a daunting experience. This paper provides case studies from two librarians who transitioned to different library types. One librarian describes her recent transition to academic libraries from a corporate library setting. The other case study describes a librarian's experience from twelve years ago transitioning from a public library to a health sciences library as a consumer health librarian located in a large hospital. The authors describe their experiences, detail similarities and differences in library types, and provide advice for others desiring to transition to another library setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
