On March 13, 2023, the Beyond Covid: Preparing the Next Generation of Japanese Studies Librarians Workshop was held as a part of the 2023 AAS/CEAL Annual Conference. The workshop was organized by the NCC Librarian Professional Development Working Group, and the NCC Resource Sharing Committee (RSC) offered three presentations for the workshop.
