February’s FLIP meeting will discuss library and archives professional associations – ALA, AASL, SLA, SAA, AkLA …
Library school students and those new to the profession are often encouraged to join and participate in library and archives associations… but there are so many! How does a new librarian or archivist evaluate which (and if) associations will be beneficial to their professional development?
FLIP will ask attendees to share their experiences, questions, and advice on this topic – even just sharing the name of a smaller library/archive-related association is valuable information!
We will also talk about conferences! Which ones are you interested in going to? Which ones have you attended in the past? What is their value?
Mark your calendars! Friday, February 24 from noon – 1pm. You are welcome to bring your lunch, there will be cookies! We’ll be meeting in Library Room 306, but a Zoom link will be coming soon for those who aren’t able to join us in-person.
