My First Speaking Engagement...And Then Some

To my surprise, I was just sent the following e-mail:

Hello, Chris, Ray just told me that you have recently graduated from library school at Dominican. Congratulations! With your permission, Ray will write something up for the next (February 2007) Water Cooler (January 2007). As you may know, on Thursday we are having a lunchtime information session for Library staff who are interested in library school. Most of the people I've asked to participate are or were supported by the Library School Tuition Assistance program, which is available to staff with 3 or more years of full-time service. If you have the time and would like to join us, I am sure that the perspective of a recent Dominican grad would be helpful. This is on Thursday, 12.15-1.45 (not sure it will last that long) in A-11. Congratulations, again! Jane



I know this is a small event, as outlined here, but I am excited about being a guest speaker nonetheless:

Library School Information Session
Library staff who are in library school or have recently completed library school programs at UIUC and Dominican University will offer advice and commentary on their experiences, the application process, relating work and school, and how to manage work, school and the rest of life. This session is geared to library staff and students who are considering library science as a career.

After Completing My MLIS...

My MLIS commencement ceremony took place on January 6, 2007...It is time to pursue the beginnings of my librarianship career...I have decided to relocate to Texas in order to do so. (Note: I would upload my resume onto this blog, but I feel that it would be pointless due to the fact that I am not comfortable devulging my personal information on, or rather to, the World Wide Web.)
