SLA events for this semester
I sent out an email to officers while earlier in the planning stages, but I thought I'd post what I'm working on here, and also ask if anyone had suggestions for dates:
(All of these events and locations are in Tucson.)
1. Vendor relations workshop with Sandy Kramer, Leslie, and possibly a rep from Elsevier.
2. Tour of a medical library (AHSL) and discussion about medical librarianship (with Sandy Kramer).
3. Discussion, with possible tour, of a college art school library. This college is private, so it would also somewhat be a corporate library. This would be with Suzan Brown.
4. Combine with LSO for a resume/interviewing workshop, also with Sandy Kramer.
As a side note, I did contact Judith Seiss from One Person Librarian, and she said she'd love to come to Arizona at some point; possibly next semester, but she cannot this semester. Because we are a student group, she would only charge us travel and hotel. Just something to think about for whomever is the next Events Coordinator.
Please do let me know if you have any input, because I will be trying to solidify dates by the end of next week.
Thanks!
