[Nicole Purviance]

Free Online Seminars Look into the Future of LIS

 

The start of the spring semester at the nationally-ranked San Jose State
University School of Library and Information Science is upon us, and with it
brings all new online seminars for current and future informational
professionals. The free presentations begin January 31, with a look into the
future of reading. Here’s a glimpse at the presentations scheduled during
January and February:

 

·         January 31 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time – The Future of Reading

Join Tom Peters, assistant dean for strategic technology initiatives at
Milner Library at Illinois State University in Normal, for an exploration
and discussion of the prospects and possibilities of reading, and how
libraries and librarians can enhance the reading experience. Tom will
address the influence of e-reading technologies.

 

·         February 8 at 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time – New Career Pathways for
Information Professionals [Career Colloquia]

Our Career Colloquia presentations are always popular, and this one is
especially exciting with Dr. Sandy Hirsh, professor and director of the
School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University,
presenting. Sandy will get you thinking about how your valuable LIS skill
sets can be applied to a variety of information environments, opening doors
to new career paths.

 

·         February 9 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time – Biblion: The Boundless
Library

In this session, you’ll learn about a revolutionary iPad app that made rare
source materials accessible to the masses. Deanna Lee, vice president for
communications and marketing for The New York Public Library, will discuss
the app including how it was created and lessons learned.
