This article is adapted from a presentation given at the Ontario Library Association Super Conference, held in Toronto, Ontario, February 1-4, 2017. This presentation brought together 80+ participants, ranging from students to early-and mid-career professionals. The goals of this presentation were to recognize and build a shared understanding of how library and information professionals experience imposter syndrome. Through personal experience and research, ideas of imposter syndrome are explored through the lens of new librarians. This discussion included competition in the job market, burnout rates, and social media. Through experience and research, we aimed to share tips and tools for managing and examining imposter syndrome.
