- Title
Upcycling MSLS Coursework into Publishable Content.
- Authors

- Abstract
New librarians face a variety of barriers to publication, such as time constraints, lack of priority given to scholarship, and lack of experience. This article proposes that new librarians can more rapidly generate publishable material by exploiting a rich mine of their own high-quality writing: their MSLS coursework. Writing with intention can help library students plan assignments for publication, while a careful revision process will ensure successful upcycling. By leveraging the research and writing effort exerted while studying for the master's degree, new librarians can quickly build a strong foundation for their early-career publications.
