CCP Tour on Feb 21 at 2pm, 4pm – Happy Hour

Just a friendly reminder that we are touring the Center for Creative Photography at 2pm on Wednesday, Feb 21st. I think it will be a great tour! The CCP archivist, the cataloguer, the rights and reproductions people, and the head of the education department will all be able to talk with us. Yeah!

Human Interest: Photoessays from the Collection
Leafing through the pages Life, Look, Fortune, and Collier’s during the middle
decades of the twentieth century, Americans encountered hundreds of photographs,
many of them merely supplying the who, what, and where.

If you can’t come to that, join us afterwards for Happy Hour and parch our thirst and get some snacks at Gentle Ben’s around 4pm.

Hope to see you all there!

Jobs, Careers, & Pizza (Tucson)

This semester SIRLS, LSO, SLA and Friends of SIRLS in Phoenix are sponsoring a Job and Career Series. Our goal is to provide SIRLS students with information relating to the current library and information fields as well as a chance to interact with professionals in the different fields.

On Monday, 9 October, a panel of speakers will discuss their different fields and their unique environments, how they got there, and what they see for the future. The Tucson speakers include: Mary Graham, she is the Head Librarian at the Arizona State Museum, Jan Knight, she is an information consultant who established Bancroft Information Services, and Ann Dutton Ewbank, who has served as a K-12 librarian and is now in the ASU West library.

The evening panel will be in the SIRLS multipurpose room, with pizza available at 5:30pm. The speakers will talk at 6:00pm for approximately half an hour and will end with a Q&A session. The evening should conclude at 7:00pm.

Please RSVP, even if you are not sure whether you might attend, so that we can get a good count. See you there!

Jobs, Careers, & Pizza (Tucson)

This semester SIRLS, LSO, SLA, and Friends of SIRLS in Phoenix are sponsoring a Job and Career Series. Our goal is to provide SIRLS students with information relating to the current library and information fields as well as a chance to interact with professionals in the different fields.

This Monday, 11 September, Jeremy Reeder will talk about career path planning. He currently works in the Maricopa County library system. He spoke in Phoenix this week and those who attended said he is an excellent speaker who shared some great information.

Here is the schedule of events for Tucson: We will have pizza in the SIRLS multipurpose room starting at 5:30pm. The speaker will talk at 6:00pm for approximately half an hour and will end with a Q&A session. The evening should conclude at 7:00pm.

We will attempt to capture and record the evenings to post online, either the SIRLS or LSO websites, for those distance students who cannot attend either evening. However, the current format is as yet unknown – so if you have experience in this area and would like to help, please contact me!

Please keep your eye on the LSO calendar for last minute changes and updates to the series at http://www.sir.arizona.edu/lso/calendar.htm. I look forward to this series and hope you are able to attend!
