Members are from inside and outside the library community. Great for networking, conferences, speakers, and events on the local, regional, and national level
You do not have to join the ASIS&T National Organization in order to participate in the Simmons chapter, but if you do decide to join it?s only $40 and you get discounts to events and two journal subscriptions. You can find out more information and join online here: http://www.asis.org/Join/index.html
If anyone is interested, the ASIS&T National Conference is in November and in Vancouver (flights are pricey, but we can fund raise, if there are people who want to go).
There is a strong New England chapter of ASIS&T (NEASIS&T) They are having an all-day fall event around the ?Rebirth of Libraries? as well as a fall book club night about the book Groundswell.
Goals for Simmons ASIS&T Chapter
Strengthen our web presence. We want to make sure that even if someone can?t attend the meetings, that they are still able to be an active participant virtually.
A big thanks to Shannon, who has already started to add tons of content to the blog.
