March Colloquia Come in with Inspiration and out with Empowerment
The San Jose State University School of Library and Information Science invites you to log in and join us for our free colloquia series. The month of March features three new presentations. Mark your calendar for March 1, 21, and 26, and plan to meet us online for these enlightening presentations.
Think back to a not so distant past when the Internet was science fiction. It’s amazing how quickly technology has changed our world and continues to shape how we consume and seek information. Joe Murphy, librarian and technology trend spotter, will tell you about emerging technology trends in 2012 and what you need to know to succeed in today’s information environment.
Sue Charles, research analyst for the HP Labs (Hewlett-Packard Company) strategic planning team, is the headliner for the March Career Colloquium. Sue will show you how your LIS skillsets can prepare you for careers you never imagined. After all, she made the transition from working in traditional library roles to doing strategic analysis for HP Labs. Hear her story during this one-hour presentation.
In this session, you’ll hear from Molly Raphael, president of the American Library Association (ALA), as she discusses her presidential initiative plan to expand and enhance leadership development opportunities available to ALA members, ensuring a workforce that is as diverse as the communities it serves. Miguel Figueroa, director of ALA's Office for Diversity, will join her for this informative talk.
The online presentations are FREE, and everyone is invited to attend. Please visit the Spring Semester 2012 Colloquia Series for links to the live online sessions. If you cannot make the live sessions, recordings will be available on the website about a week after the scheduled events.
